I use the cross build toolchian built a cling for windows 32 bits, and modify some source code in CIFactory.cpp (find the include path). the cling.exe can do "printf("test!\n");", but it cannot load the dll file, dose it have any plan to support in windows system?? Thanks, ChuYuan Chiang

Hi, How you would briefly compare cling with alternative projects: Ceemple, Julia, chaiscript ? Thanks, Vladimir

Is it possible to redefine (unload or clean) functions, variables and classes in cling interpretator?

Is there any progress to support Windows ?

There is a similar project called geordi-prime, it's a haskell-based c++ eval irc bot. The only difference is that it cannot keep state. Anyway, it's publicly available on freenode irc (and countless copies are available elsewhere) and it seems its safety measures are more than enough for irc wannabe hackers. The web-based cling could use the same idea to make sure its safe.

Cling is really great !!!

I was able to integrate it in my System on Windows and not I can use C++11 interactively.


Unfortunately there are still some problems with it.
If I try to do following:

#include "my_header.h"

and header includes some other headers that Cling can not find then it will
CRASH in ASTNodeEraser.cpp .

Hello, I've successfully compiled Cling on Mac OSX and seems to work for simple C++ expressions. However when I try to create a C++ function I have a strange error:

[cling]$ void ff() {
[cling]$ ?   int mm;
[cling]$ ?   mm = 5;
[cling]$ ?   }
input_line_4:2:11: error: expected ';' at end of declaration
 void ff() {
          ^
          ;
[cling]$

This is expected behaviour or am I doing something wrong ?

Hello, The statement "If you want to check cling out you can simply compile it yourself - it's really easy." sounds interesting ... but the time to build cling is extremely high. It takes round about 12h on dual core machine (2.2 Ghz) ! Is there a way to get a binary version for i386 LINUX ? --Armin

Is there any progress in supporting Windows 32/64 by clang/cling ? I cannot wait when I could start with cling on Windows platform :-)

Hi Axl, I build latest cling for windows, apparently load module .L doesn't work as expected (in the example) [cling]$ .L libz input_line_6:1:10: fatal error: 'libz' file not found #include "libz" Load file failed. I have put zlib.dll zlib.dll.a zlib.a in current folder. Even set LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH doesn't help. More importantly why it treated as #include "libz"? Thank you Axl, cling is great for learning!

After I use the make command in the build directory I get this error. I am trying to compile cling. SyntaxError: invalid syntax make[2]: Entering directory /home/ryan/Documents/build/tools/cling' llvm[2]: Updating Makefile make[2]: Leaving directory/home/ryan/Documents/build/tools/cling' svn: '/home/ryan/Documents/llvm' is not a working copy File "", line 1 if >= : print "skip" ^ Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

I have built clang/llvm but clang++ doesnt seem to work and i think it could potentially be due to the fact that clang++ only works with mac os as far as i know..could i still run cling if clang++ doesnt work...just to clarify clang works perfectly and it compiles my c code flawlessly just clang++ doesnt work. I am using ubuntu 10.04 Thanks!

Hello, since i get some errors both during linking (of rootcling_tmp; gives undefined symbol _ZTVN5clang13PragmaHandlerE, though libCling.so is on the path) and compiling (no matching function for call to ‘cling::Interpreter::createUniqueName()’) of ROOT with cling enabled, is it possible to have smth similar to cling's LastKnownGoodLLVMSVNRevision.txt in ROOT? i.e. some way of telling which revision of Cling does the currently checked-out ROOT revision compile (and link) with?

cheers, Constantin

Any help much appreciated: llvm[4]: Linking Debug+Asserts Shared Library libcling.dylib Undefined symbols: "llvm::APInt::initSlowCase(unsigned int, unsigned long, bool)", referenced from: -exported_symbol[s_list] command line option "cling::Interpreter::executeFile(std::basic_string, std::allocator > const&)", referenced from: -exported_symbol[s_list] command line option

What would cause this after clang builds fine: llvm[4]: Linking Debug+Asserts Shared Library libcling.dylib Undefined symbols: "llvm::APInt::initSlowCase(unsigned int, unsigned long, bool)", referenced from: -exported_symbol[s_list] command line option "cling::Interpreter::executeFile(std::basic_string, std::allocator > const&)", referenced from: -exported_symbol[s_list] command line option "cling::Interpreter::loadFile(std::basic_string, std::allocator > const&, std::basic_string, std::allocator > const*, bool)", referenced from: -exported_symbol[s_list] command line option "cling::MetaProcessor::process(char const)", referenced from: -exported_symbol[s_list] command line option (maybe you meant: cling::MetaProcessor::process(char const, cling::Value*))

I use win32 compiled cling.exe, it hangs up in the simplest cases: int i=1; - OK int i=1 - without ";" - hangs up ++i; - OK ++i - hangs up #include "stdio.h" - OK #include "math.h" - hangs up #include "math_not_exist.h" - OK, informs about error What going wrong in these cases ? Thanks, Vladimir
