Run C as a script, recompiling only when changed
Hot on the heels of a great tip on running C code as a script, I modified it a bit to recompile only when the file changes. It uses the TMPDIR
envvar instead of mktmp
.
//bin/cat /dev/null; mkdir -p $TMPDIR; HASH="`md5sum $0`"; FILE="$TMPDIR/$0_$HASH"; gcc -o "$FILE" "$0" && "$FILE" "$@"; exit
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int i;
printf("Arguments:\n");
for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) {
printf("%d: %s\n", i, argv[i]);
}
}
