Nodemon for C++ files. Watches C++ files in a directory for changes and compiles to object code.
The library was built to automate the generation of C++ object files when writing .cpp programs. Generating .o files was a problem for me as I would need to run the following lines of code over and over again:
g++ -o output_file_name source_file.cpp
then run ./output_file_name to execute the program.
This library would reduce the need to type and run the g++ command manually.
nodejsmust be installed on your machine.g++must be installed on your machine.
From the terminal (Ctrl + T to invoke) run the following
npm install -g cpp-file-watcher
Once installed globally, navigate to the folder containing .cpp files.
On the command line within the folder containing the .cpp files type
cpp-file-watcher <filename>.cpp
An object file .o with the same name as the .cpp file will be created.
This is the place where you can follow my work or maybe just say hi.
