How does this work? Is there an alternate form for #! (aka shebang)? EDIT: hah, I should have realized that "//" is the C comment and "//usr/bin/tcc" is equiva

  "C comment," you mean. So it's running the file as a shell script, where the first line runs tcc on the current file and quits.

    Fixed typo, thanks. Yeah for some reason it didn't click when I saw it.

  I always love these things that are really scripts in two (or more) languages. Common is something like this on Windows to make a command script a Perl script. It lets you run your Perl script without having to make sure you had .pl extensions associated. Though, you needed Perl installed, so I never quite got the point. @rem = '--*--Perl-*-- @echo off echo Hello from a command script perl -x -S %0 %* goto endofperl @rem '; #!perl print "Hello from Perl!\n"; __END__ :endofperl By far very less common is to stuff some Perl code in a C# source file. A dev that was way too clever for his own code did this to have a Perl script that would update a C# script file and be self contained. This is a simple example of what it looked like, minus the instant headache anyone got that had to look at the real version: #if PerlScript $csharp=<<WhyJustWhy; #endif using System; namespace Example { public static class Program { static void Main() { Console.WriteLine("Hello from C#"); } } } #if PerlScript WhyJustWhy print("Hello from Perl!") __END__ #endif
