"Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not fucking real.”
recently i've been playing with clang-repl (i don't know anything about cling) and it exists like this^. yea it's there and there are some CI tests that are run and etc but if you think you're going to run real C++ programs through it, you're in for a disappointing day.
i'm not saying it'll never get there - i hope it does!
- V1ndaar 3y agoThe ROOT interpreter cling (and cint before it) have always been known for being incredibly brittle. Segfaults are _extremely_ common. If you think you can continue your REPL session after most kinds of errors, you're mistaken. It doesn't help of course that ROOT itself is a horrible mess of massive internal state.
- mathisfun123 3y agoyea i figured as much. clang-repl might be a ground-up reimplementation but i don't really have high hopes. of course it would be nice if C++ had a repl-like environment.
