TermiC: Terminal C

Interactive C/C++ REPL shell created with BASH.

How to Use

A simple function in TermiC:

[user@FEDORA ~]$ termic
TermiC 1.3.0V
Language: c
Compiler: gcc
Type 'help' for additional information
>> double divide(double a, double b) {
   ...if(b==0) {
   ......return 0;
   ......}
   ...return a/b;
   ...}
>> printf("Division 25/2 is equal %f", divide(25,2))
Division 25/2 is equal 12.500000
>> 

Implementing classes in TermiC++:

[user@FEDORA ~]$ termic++
TermiC 1.3.0V
Language: c++
Compiler: g++ -fpermissive
Type 'help' for additional information
>> class Student {
   ...public:
   ...Student(int age) {
   ......this->age = age;
   ......}
   ...int getAge() {
   ......return age;
   ......}
   ...private:
   ...int age;
   ...}
>> Student a(15)
>> cout << "Age of student 'a' " << a.getAge()
Age of student 'a' 15
>> 

Using vectors in TermiC++:

[user@FEDORA ~]$ termic++
TermiC 1.3.0V
Language: c++
Compiler: g++ -fpermissive
Type 'help' for additional information
>> #include <vector>
>> vector<int> a
>> a.push_back(10)
>> a.push_back(11)
>> a.push_back(12)
>> short counter = 0
>> for(auto v:a) {
   ...cout << ++counter << ". element of a is " << v << endl;
   ...}
1. element of a is 10
2. element of a is 11
3. element of a is 12
>> 

Note: stdio.h, stdlib.h and iostream(in TermiC++) are included automatically. Prompt will be inside scope of int main() function but all declared functions/namespaces/classes/structs will be declared before int main() automatically.

How it Works

All inputs given to TermiC are append to text file in /tmp directory. Then TermiC compiles that file and runs it. It simply takes the last line back if an output detected as all outputs should be seen once. TermiC nearly fully supports C and C++ as it basically use GCC and G++ compilers. All curly braces starts an inline prompt so nested functions, if/else statements, while/for loops, classes etc. can be used efficiently. I don't know if there is such a concept, but I hope it will be useful.

Prompt Commands

Commands	Explanation
help	Shows the help menu
abort	Aborts inline prompt mode which are entered by curly bracket
show	Prints last successfully compiled source file
showtmp	Prints last compiled source file with deleted edits
save	Saves source file to working directory
savebin	Saves binary file to working directory
clear	Deletes all declared functions,classes etc. and resets shell
exit	Deletes created temp files and exits program

How to Install

TermiC uses following packages:

gcc
g++

To install dependencies:

apt install gcc g++ # Debian based distros
dnf install gcc gcc-c++ # Fedora based distros

To run TermiC:

wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hanoglu/TermiC/main/TermiC.sh"
chmod +x TermiC.sh
bash TermiC.sh

To install TermiC system wide:

wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hanoglu/TermiC/main/TermiC.sh"
sudo cp TermiC.sh /bin/termic
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/termic /usr/bin/termic++
sudo chmod +x /bin/termic
rm -f TermiC.sh

Note: DEB and RPM files in releases page can be used to install TermiC in Debian/Fedora based systems. Also COPR repository can be used to install TermiC in Fedora based distros.

Install with COPR:

sudo dnf copr enable hanoglu/termic
sudo dnf install termic

To start TermiC:

termic # For C shell
termic++ # For C++ shell
termic tcc # For C shell using the tcc compiler

To remove TermiC system wide:

sudo rm -f /bin/termic
sudo rm -f /bin/termic++
