About:
CPI is a lightweight C++ interpreter that allows for interactive execution of C++ code without the need for a compilation step. It provides a REPL environment for rapid prototyping, testing snippets, and learning the language. This tool is ideal for developers seeking immediate feedback and streamlined experimentation within a Qt-based framework.
Key Features:
  • Interactive C++ REPL environment
  • Supports Qt classes and libraries
  • Rapid prototyping and debugging
  • Lightweight and easy to deploy
Use Cases:
  • Learning and experimenting with C++ syntax and features
  • Testing small code snippets or algorithms without creating a full project
  • Debugging specific logic in an interactive session
Alternatives:
  • cling – Cling is a more feature-rich, LLVM-based interpreter, while CPI is lighter and tightly integrated with Qt.
  • root – ROOT provides a C++ interpreter as part of a large data analysis framework, whereas CPI is a standalone, minimal tool.
