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.

    • Customers are the only way restaurants make money to pay their employees.  Customers pay for the food supply... the power bill... the rent... and yes payroll.  Without customers... restaurants wouldn't have a business.   The problem here is that people get upset when they see extra fees on their bill. If a restaurant charged $16 for a cheeseburger... no one would care. But if it's broken down to $13 for the cheeseburger and $3 for the extra fee... then people get bothered.  People don't like fees... or simply the appearance of fees. It's like concert tickets.  You buy a ticket for $50 and then you must also pay $25 in fees. Why not just just charge $75 for the ticket? In the end it's the same price... but it feels different.
    • Sony started with 70 Euro games, Nintendo with 80 Euro games.
    • It has only been about 2 years since Microsoft raised prices from $60 to $70! I don't think it's a good idea they are doing it again so soon. Instead of raising prices, manage game development budgets better.
    • Intel's 20-core Ultra 7 processor is now available with a massive discount by Taras Buria The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, Intel's latest 20-core desktop processor, is getting more affordable. Now, the chip is available on Amazon with a 36% discount, saving you $144, which you can spend on a higher-spec graphics card, better cooling, a bigger SSD, or some new games. If you want to build a computer with the discounted Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, you will need a motherboard with the LGA 1851 socket and 800 series chipset. The Core Ultra 7 265K has 20 cores, 8 of which are performance cores, and 12 are efficiency cores operating at lower clocks for less demanding tasks. Performance cores have the maximum clock speed of 5.4GHz, while efficiency cores peak at 4.6GHz. However, the processor is unlocked, which means you can push those clocks higher if you have enough cooling and a motherboard that supports overclocking. Speaking of cooling, the processor has a TDP of 125W. A cooler is not included in the box, so do not forget to add one to your shopping cart. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K has 30MB of level 3 cache (L3). It works with DDR5 memory (rated for 6,400 MT/s) and has a built-in graphics at 2GHz, which is enough for image output, media consumption, and all sorts of tasks that do not require a lot of GPU power. There is also a neural processing unit with 13 TOPS, which can handle on-device AI processing. Intel Core Ultra 7 Desktop Processor 265K 5.5 GHz - $259.99 | $144 off on Amazon US This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • It's stuff like this countries like Denmark are giving up by switching to Linux. Good luck to them.
