realcsh(1)
π realcsh β binfmt_C's own little C++ party shell β¨
okay bestie, buckle up, because this is realcsh(1) from the binfmt_C corner of the manual-page multiverse, and she is serving interactive C++ realness π
πΈ NAME πΈ
realcxxsh.c β literally a shell for running C++ code. that's it, that's the whole vibe π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
realcxxsh.c [g++ options]
so yeah, you just run it, and you can throw any g++ options at it like confetti π¦
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so realcsh.c is an interactive shell that runs C++ source code. the way it works is iconic: every line you type in gets handled as a line inside the main() function, then the resulting C++ code gets compiled, and then it gets executed. boom. no cap π₯
and here's the cute part β if you enter a line that starts with #, like #include <iostream>, that line gets added to every code after that, right at the start of the sourcecode π
want to see the list of all those #-lines you've collected? just type ## and she'll show you the whole stash π
π EXAMPLES π
here's what a session looks like, bestie:
$ ./realcxxsh.cc
REAL c++sh: cout << "Hello world0;
Hello world
REAL c++sh: system ("pwd");
/home/dancer
REAL c++sh:
see? you type the C++ line, she compiles, she runs, she slays π«Ά
π§ INTERNALS π§
and this is what the C++ code actually looks like behind the scenes, like the little skeleton under the outfit:
/*BINFMTCXX:
*/
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
input-line
return 0;
}
your input line drops right into the middle of main(). main character energy, fr fr π
