CINT - C/C++ interpreter

CINT is a C/C++ interpreter for processing C/C++ scripts. It covers about 95% of ANSI C and 85% of C++, and is solid enough to interpret itself and let the interpreted version execute a program. Using an interpreter the compile and link cycle is dramatically reduced facilitating rapid development.

A CINT script can call compiled classes/functions and compiled code can make callbacks to CINT user defined functions. Utilities , like makecint and rootcint, automate the process of embedding compiled C/C++ library code as shared objects (as Dynamic Link Library, DLL, or shared library, .so). Source files and shared objects can be dynamically loaded/unloaded without stopping the CINT process. CINT offers a gdb like debugging environment for interpreted programs.
