RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus VS OpenCL_Wrapper_By_PunalManalan

hscpp (Hotswap C++) is an experimental library I created which allows you to hot-reload C++. It was heavily inspired by Runtime Compiled C++, and works by linking DLLs into your project at runtime.

The only recent attempt to make something like this practical, as far as I know, was RCCpp. Going by the GH activity, it looks like it kind of went nowhere.

FYI I maintain a list of runtime compiled C++ approaches on this wiki: https://github.com/RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus/RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus/wiki/Alternatives

There is https://github.com/RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus/RuntimeCompiledC...

The idea is to use virtual functions, and recompile new classes into a shared library. The shared lib is linked into the running program, and old instances of the classes are deleted and replaced by new instances constructed from the share library.

I am working on a library using the same (stolen) idea here:

hscpp is still very alpha, and I’m sure I’ll find lots of bugs as I work on a “real” demo. In contrast, Runtime Compiled C++ is quite mature and is used in real game projects.

Note that this approach very much limits your architecture. For example, you won’t be able to use statics, as the newly compiled shared libraries won’t see them.

It’s a finicky thing, worth it to me, but not something you can just plop in to an established project.

Well of course it's possible to generate executable code at runtime in C++ since clang itself is written in C++, but it's definitely a much larger undertaking, but there's two such efforts I know of, Cling and RuntimeCompiledCPlusPlus.

Hello Everyone I have Finally Completed my OpenCL Wrapper Links to GitHub, Feel free to use it whenever you want to! What is so special about this wrapper? let me tell you!
