c_cpp-watcher v1.0.5

C/C++ Watcher (cw)

cw is a simple CLI tool that automatically compiles and runs C/C++ files whenever they are modified, saving you time and effort.

Installation

To install cw globally using npm, run:

npm install -g c_cpp-watcher

Prerequisites:
Make sure you have a C/C++ compiler installed (gcc for C, g++ for C++). You can check by running:

gcc --version
g++ --version

Usage

cw <file.c or file.cpp> [compiler flags] [additional arguments]

Example Usage

cw main.cpp -Wall -std=c++17

This command watches main.cpp, recompiles it with -Wall and -std=c++17 flags, and runs the output.

• The compiled program automatically restarts when the file is modified.
• After execution, you can type rs and press Enter to restart manually.
