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.

    • Exactly. Use it is fine, but copyright is another story...
    • Not really, I am pretty hot at the moment and tomorrow I will be even hotter as the U.K are some hot days. Not looking forward to work. I just don't want to connect my computer to MS servers, I have no need to, the same with my Mac not being connected to Apple Servers. I have no need for MS or Apple accounts.
    • Really? Do you want it spelled out? Ok: It was a funsies way to say that we can confidently asume that their update servers were shut down years ago already, and no updates have been developed or delivered to any LG phone in years, since, to begin, LG wasn't too well known for their software support.
    • Good afternoon, I have a customer who purchased a Dell laptop last year. One of the latest Inspirons. they are older so it can be a bit hard to see things on the screen. They are using Windows 11 Home 23H2, I have not upgraded them yet to 24H2. What I did was changed the scaling to 150% and that automatically made all the icons on desktop bigger and using in Chrome webpage elements are bigger etc. The thing is I overlooked the Taskbar and the icons most notably hidden within the arrow pointing up. I though by changing to 150% the scaling even the taskbar would get bigger. Again I don't know how I missed seeing that. Is this something that can be fixed? One other thing is I notice in File Explorer things are also small and not larger after the change. Can this be fixed as well?   Thank You.
    • Apple still has two unannounced features for iOS 26 by Hamid Ganji Apple held its WWDC25 event this month to unveil a slew of AI features and its new design for operating systems, known as Liquid Glass. While iOS 26 currently has no shortage of features, the iPhone maker might still have some features under wraps that didn’t make a debut at this month’s WWDC. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes in his weekly Power On newsletter that Apple didn’t announce two iOS 26 features at the WWDC event. The first feature is a live translation of conversations via AirPods, and the latter is the ability to sync your wireless network login information across devices at a hotel or gym. Even though these features were already tipped to arrive in iOS 26, Apple held them from the event, presumably because they’re still not ready to ship. Apple appears to have learned from its experience with Apple Intelligence and aims to break the habit of unveiling new features before they are ready for release. The Live Translation on iOS 26 is currently integrated with popular apps like Messages, FaceTime, and Phone to help users break language barriers and communicate in different languages. The feature is now under development for AirPods, allowing users to hear real-time speech translations. Moreover, the WiFi syncing feature allows you to sync your sign-in information across your entire Apple ecosystem, enabling you to connect to a public WiFi network with ease. This would eliminate the need to sign into a WiFi network separately on each device. While these features haven’t arrived in iOS 26 yet, they’re more likely to be released later this year, in October or December.
