What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A small shell script that compiles and executes C (and C++) files in a single command, supporting shebang-style executable C scripts. It works with any compiler via $CC (gcc, clang, tcc) and includes a simple build cache.
Use cases
- run c files like scripts
- compile and execute c in one command
- use c as a scripting language with shebang
- quickly test small c programs
- run c++ files without a makefile
- cache compiled c scripts for faster reruns
When to choose
- you want to run small C/C++ programs without writing build files
- you want executable C scripts via shebang
- you want a lightweight single-file tool with no dependencies beyond a C compiler
When to avoid
- you need full build management for multi-file projects (use make, cmake, etc.)
- you need debugging, IDE integration, or dependency management
- you need maximum performance for production builds
