GitHub - SheafificationOfG/based-cpp: C++ is the based interpreted language

Based C++

This repo provides an implementation of the GNU Interface Layer (GIL) and standard library for g++.

C++ is the best interpreted language

Usage

Here is a simple "Hello, world!" in C++.

#include "gil/std.hpp"
using namespace gil::std;

volatile auto run = main<{
  str::puts(str::literal("Hello, world!\n"))
}>;

To run the program, run

g++ -std=c++23 -Based hello_world.cpp -o -

Note that the program won't execute until all stdin is read, which means you need to pass it an EOF (e.g., ^D from stdin).

Note

Use -O2 or -O3 if you want things to run faster. (I didn't do this in my video... oops).

System

I've only tested this thing on my machines (Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04) using g++ 14.2.0. If it doesn't work on your machine, maybe that's actually a good thing.

See also #8.

Examples

hello_world.cpp

Be greeted in all of the languages supported by YVR!
hello_world_vmi.cpp

Same as above, but without using the standard library.
calculator.cpp

Perform a single binary operation on a pair of 64-bit signed integers.
mergesort.cpp

Merge sort a comma-separated list of 64-bit signed integers.
