Hi,

I'm enjoying learning D, especially using rdmd tool, where I can edit-run quickly, that checks dependencies and freshness of files in a project.
It does feel like working with Python, but with C/C++ like syntax that I am familiar with.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there is such a tool for C that is as convenient as rdmd?

Thanks.

Hi Ikel,

A bit late but I thought it could be useful.

There's a C compiler (tcc[1]) from Fabrice Bellard that has the option '-run' that allows to automatically run the generated executable.

It even allows you write 'scripts' in C: #!/usr/local/bin/tcc -run

Hope this helps.

Doesn't rdmd work with C code? D compilers can compile C code, so long as you don't rely too heavily on the preprocessor. I've never tried it with C files though.

Idk about C but there is one for C++:

Hi Antonio, not late at all!

Never heard of Tiny C Compiler before. WI will give it a try.
Thank you.

Thanks Bachmeier.

I tried the example given in ImportC page but unable to get it to work.
I will revisit it again

Thanks Tejas for the reference to Cling. It does look promising.
