recci v1.0.1
recci
Nodemon for C++ files. Watches C++ files in a directory for changes and compiles to object code.
Important Notice
Currently works on Ubuntu 18.04.
Why recci
The library was built to automate the generation of C++ object files when writing .cpp
programs. Generating .o
files was a problem for me as I would need to run the following lines of code over and over again:
g++ -o output_file_name source_file.cpp
then run ./output_file_name
to execute the program.
This library would reduce the need to type and run the g++
command manually.
Requirements
nodejs
must be installed on your laptop.g++
must be installed on your laptop.
Installation
From the terminal (Ctrl + T to invoke) run the following
npm install -g recci
or
npm i -g recci
Usage
Once installed globally, navigate to the folder containing .cpp
files.
On the command line within the folder containing the .cpp
files type
recci <filename>.cpp
An object file .o
with the same name as the .cpp
file will be created.
TODO
- Check if
g++
is installed in host machine before executing script. - Execute
.o
file provided that a flag is passed torecci
. - Create unit tests
- Add functionality to watch more than one
.cpp
files.
