Sometimes I need to compile and run a tiny snippet of C++ code. For example, I want to proof some concept or I want to give code example while chatting with friends. Sometimes I don’t have access to good compiler. If I’m logged to irc.freenode.net, it’s not a problem – geordi is there. I’ve just found a Web-based alternative – codepad.org. It is a pastebin service that can compile, validate and execute your code.
Good post.
Also the Comeau Computing compiler at http://www.comeaucomputing.com/tryitout/ is another online compiler.
Yes it is, though it does not provide access to a range of C++ libraries, only the C++ Standard Library. With codepad.org for example, you have access to Boost C++ Libraries.
