Support execution in python * Introduces "interpreted" language option * Supports execute if binary or interpreted, and "supportsExecute" * Misc tidyups CC @jfalcou
Compiler Explorer is an interactive compiler exploration website. Edit C, C++, Rust, Go, D, Haskell, Swift, Pascal, ispc or other language code, and see how that code looks after being compiled in real time. Multiple compilers are supported, many different tools and visualations are available, and the UI layout is configurable (thanks to GoldenLayout).
Try out at godbolt.org, or run your own local instance.
You can financially support this project on Patreon, GitHub, Paypal, or by buying cool gear on the Compiler Explorer store.
Compiler Explorer follows a Code of Conduct which aims to foster an open and welcoming environment.
Compiler Explorer was started in 2012 to show how C++ constructs translated to assembly code. It started out as a tmux
session with vi
running in one pane and watch gcc -S foo.cc -o -
running in the other.
Since then, it has become a public website serving around 2,000,000 compilations per week.
There is now a FAQ section in the repository wiki. If your question is not present, please contact us as described below, so we can help you. If you find that the FAQ is lacking some important point, please free to contribute to it and/or ask us to clarify it.
There are a number of videos that showcase some features of Compiler Explorer:
Compiler Explorer is written in Node.js.
Assuming you have a compatible version of node
installed, on Linux simply running make
ought to get you up and running with an Explorer running on port 10240 on your local machine: http://localhost:10240/. If this doesn't work for you, please contact us, as we consider it important you can quickly and easily get running. Currently Compiler Explorer requires the latest LTS node
version (v12) installed, either on the path or at NODE_DIR
(an environment variable or make
parameter).
Running with make EXTRA_ARGS='--language LANG'
will allow you to load LANG
exclusively, where LANG
is one for the language ids/aliases defined in lib/languages.js
. For example, to only run CE with C++ support, you'd run make EXTRA_ARGS='--language c++'
. The Makefile
will automatically install all the third party libraries needed to run; using npm
to install server-side and client side components.
For development, we suggest using make dev
to enable some useful features, such as automatic reloading on file changes and shorter startup times.
You can also use npm run dev
to run if make dev
doesn't work on your machine.
Some languages need extra tools to demangle them, e.g. rust
, d
, or haskell
. Such tools are kept separately in the tools repo.
Configuring compiler explorer is achieved via configuration files in the etc/config
directory. Values are key=value
. Options in a {type}.local.properties
file (where {type}
is c++
or similar) override anything in the {type}.defaults.properties
file. There is a .gitignore
file to ignore *.local.*
files, so these won‘t be checked into git and you won’t find yourself fighting with updated versions when you git pull
. For more information see Adding a Compiler.
A Road map is available which gives a little insight into the future plans for Compiler Explorer.
If you want to point it at your own GCC or similar binaries, either edit the etc/config/LANG.defaults.properties
or else make a new one with the name LANG.local.properties
, substituting LANG
as needed. *.local.properties
files have the highest priority when loading properties.
When running in a corporate setting the URL shortening service can be replaced by an internal one if the default storage driver isn't appropriate for your environment. To do this, add a new module in lib/shortener/myservice.js
and set the urlShortenService
variable in configuration. This module should export a single function, see the tinyurl module for an example.
There's a simple restful API that can be used to do compiles to asm and to list compilers.
You can find the API documentation here.
We run a Compiler Explorer Discord, which is a place to discuss using or developing Compiler Explorer. We also have a presence on the cpplang slack channel #compiler_explorer
and we have a public mailing list.
There's a development channel on the discord, and also a development mailing list.
Feel free to raise an issue on github or email Matt directly for more help.
