Run C immediately
Compile C in memory and execute it directly for fast experiments, scripts, and prototypes.
CJITC, Just in Time!
A tiny, portable C runner and compiler powered by TinyCC. Write C, run it immediately, or produce objects and executables without setting up a full toolchain.
Build useful artifacts
Compile one source file to an object or link an executable without running the program.
Bring native libraries
Load shared libraries and make their exported symbols available to your C program.
Carry one small tool
CJIT bundles TinyCC, its headers, and runtime assets into a portable command-line executable.
Start in seconds
Download the latest release for your platform, then run a C source file:
Pass arguments to the compiled program after --:
sh
cjit app.c -- --name cjit --verboseOr produce a file without executing it:
sh
cjit -c hello.c
cjit -o hello hello.cWhat CJIT is
CJIT is a TinyCC-powered C runner and lightweight compiler frontend. It prioritizes quick iteration and a small deployment footprint across Windows, macOS, and GNU/Linux.
CJIT is not a tracing or adaptive JIT in the virtual-machine sense. It compiles C quickly, often in memory, and can execute the resulting native code immediately.
