💖 binfmtcxx — binfmt_misc C++ handler 💖

okay bestie, listen up, this is from the binfmt_C manual, section 1, and it's genuinely such a slay little tool. sit with me.

---

✨ NAME ✨

binfmtcxx-interpreter — the binfmt_misc C++ handler 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

binfmtcxx-interpreter C++-source-file-name [command-line opions ...]

(yes, "opions", that's literally how it's spelled in here, we don't touch it, it's iconic 💅)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So binfmtcxx-interpreter compiles a C++ source file that you name on the command-line, using a C++ compiler, and then it runs the resulting file. compile → execute, no cap, that's the whole vibe.

It's built to be a handler for binfmt_misc, which is the Linux system that lets arbitrary files get treated like executables. main character energy fr fr 👑

And here's the cute part: the command-line options? They get passed on to the compiled binary. so whatever you tack on goes straight through. 🫶

---

🔥 FILE MAGIC 🔥

There is a requirement, bestie, and it is non-negotiable: C++ source files must have the magic characters

/*BINFMTCXX:

at the beginning of the file. like, the very beginning. no skipping, no vibes-based exceptions. 💀

And that same line? It's also where you specify the extra command-line options for the C++ compiler. two jobs, one line, we love a multitasker ✨

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

• GXX — the compiler used. default is to use g++. 🌈
• CXX — the compiler used, if the GXX variable isn't set. Will fall back to using GCC and CC.
• BINFMTCTMPDIR — temporary directory used for the binary and for execution. Falls back to $TMPDIR, $TEMPDIR, or /tmp. 🍓
• BINFMTC_DEBUG — enables debug output if set. 👀
• BINFMTCXX_GXX_OPTS — additional G++ options. Use BINFMTC_DEBUG to verify which options are actually being passed on to g++. The default is -O0 -Wall -g. 💜
