PocketCPP: A Portable Compiler


Question

Hey Guys & Gals,

 

I've been hunting around for a portable compiler for C++, so I can test snippets, and tools I write. I haven't had much luck, and I haven't been able to fully test this program. Here we go..

Program: PocketCPP

 

I'm posting it as a resource for people to use. I have a lot of downtime at work, and learning new things is encouraged. The more I know, the better chance of getting an FTE Position.

 

 

Cheers,

Data

 

Edit: I didn't create this. :)

Just curious what kind of criteria you have for a portable environment.

 

I have been musing a bit lately on some sort of "programming everywhere" thing that works on any device and adapts to circumstances along the lines of what photographers say "The best camera is the one you have with you"

 

I'm thinking it would somehow live simultaneously on a USB drive and in the cloud somewhere and would also have a touch friendly "view" for those times you only have a phone but RDP to a cloud might be better for phones...

 

Then there is the Windows 10 Mobile Continuum which might be useful.

 

The emscripten project might be useful as well to show C++ code running in the browser which would make it easy to demo various experiments to people or even make a complete C++ browser based environment you could access anywhere...

 

I will be sure to take a look at the PocketCPP. Thanks.

Well.. I'm taking my time learning C++. I need an environment that would allow me to compile my program without having to install things. I use it while I'm at work because we're not allowed to install programs that aren't "verified".

I tried making Visual Studio a portable version using various programs, but I ran into a problem with it. It apparently changes the core of Windows, and can't be made into a portable version.

My eventual goal is to write a program that acts as a monitoring software for work. There are a lot of different tools, but having the ability to customize the program would be sweet. I work as a contract worker for Intuit, and they encourage things like this. I use Notepad++ for almost everything these days. Hell, I don't even use Dreamweaver anymore. I use Brackets for web programming, and Notepad++ for anything software or scripting.

 

Hope that answers it.
