A shell script should be enough, but do you really need GUI? 🤔

not need, but would be very nice

something stupid like checkboxes for each pack

also yes, how do I make a symlink in C++?

CreateSymbolicLink(SymLink, Target, Flags); https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-createsymboliclinka

What a program this is?

https://godbolt.org/z/1qe6ve

Is it visual studio

Which program is better for writing code in C ++

Which program is better for writing code in C ++

that seems good-looking to you :)

What a program this is?

click on the link, it's compiler explorer, a website

my c project needs to link libstdc++ for some reason, is it okay?

your c project is a c++ project

what are your dependencies?

how are you building your application/library?

your c project is a c++ project

the c projects dependents a c++ project, that c++ project export functions in c-style

So I have to link libstdc++ in the c project

I can't link libstdc++ staticly to the c++ project, i don't know y

hmm... is that dependency a single library, or two libs, where one is the C functions, and the other is the C++ stuff?

also, its a bit weird for a C++ lib to provide a C interface rather than the other way around

hmm... is that dependency a single library, or two libs, where one is the C functions, and the other is the C++ stuff?

it's a single library, but it calls new and delete. it also use virutal functions

yeah, that's a C++ library and that's it.

also, its a bit weird for a C++ lib to provide a C interface rather than the other way around

is there another way?

I wonder whether it is normal that linking libstdc++ in a c project

a C library that provides a C++ interface on the side

it's absolutely not.

if you're linking in libstdc++, you're either doing something wrong, or you're writing C++ like C

I can't provide c interfaces in a c++ lib?

sure, but that means that it will then need to be provided a C++ runtime in deployment anyway, so it doesn't make a lot of sense

if you can provide that, then why not just use C++. it'd be hella more beneficial (excluding the Linux kernel, as an example)

if you can provide that, then why not just use C++. it'd be hella more beneficial (excluding the Linux kernel, as an example)

because calling c functions is more convenient in other languages

they can just load library and call those functions' names

uhh, sure, but that depends a lot tho. in this scenario, you're describing a library in C++, that provides a C interface, which is then called, over some FFI presumably, by another language runtime. that'd be 3 different executors at least

i've not really seen that happen, and what's more likely is you'll have an implementation in C (maybe even some sweet, sweet, per platform optimizations), providing bindings to other languages, including C++

so I can't fake this c++ implementation as a c implementation?

no, nor should you.

what library are you talking about? can you link to its repo?

please anyone help me out in this program

i write it myself actually

what library are you talking about? can you link to its repo?

the scenario is I need to provide some ways that web front-end can call my c++ library

what's the front-end written in?

what's the front-end written in?

javascript?

please anyone help me out in this program

javascript?

is it running in like node or something?

don't you know web ? running in browser

no, i do embedded systems mainly, and im asking if it's running on an environment like nodejs, or some random concoction you've made, or on the client system?

running in browsers. should i compile them to wasm?

yeah, that'd be more adequate. im no authority or even a knowledgable person on this, but if you intend the javascript to run on the client, and it needs that C++ lib to be there as well - i'd say dont have a lot of options

either deliver as wasm or rewrite it in javascript

it also runs in a linux server

linux and web browser...

okay, hold on. which part of that whole application stack needs that C++ library?

none

It just I have already write it in c++

either deliver as wasm or rewrite it in javascript

you can create c++ http API for lib, and call it using javascript from browser

none

you will need to then rephrase your questions. you're not making a lot of sense.

you can create c++ http API for lib, and call it using javascript from browser

yes, and you can rake leaves with buldozers

so I should rewrite it in c

damn it , i was an idiot

why do you need it in C or C++, if none of your javascript stuff needs it?

yes, and you can rake leaves with buldozers

I don`t feel rewriting on javascript or wasm are always better options

sorry

I read your message wrong

both linux server and web browser needs that c++ library

I thought you ask why I write it in c++ before

I don`t feel rewriting on javascript or wasm are always better options

it'll compile into wasm, so that doesn't matter much (you still want to somehow have the client execute it); you're already distributing your js library, so the compiled wasm goes with it.

as for rewriting it into javascript... it depends. easier to manage, i suppose - none of the c/c++/wasm magic; but then it's a trade-off of finding adequate replacements for functionality and if the performance is even acceptable

it'll compile into wasm, so that doesn't matter much (you still want to somehow have the client execute it); you're already distributing your js library, so the compiled wasm goes with it.

in theory this is nice idea, however wasm is new technology, probably not stable

also we don`t have any info about performance requirements

yeah, that'd be outside my scope. i dont deal in developing for web, but afaik, it's super awesome these days. not sure what versions of browsers are actually in use by user share, and whether wasm is supported/enabled on 'em.

again, i'd not go that route if i really dont need to, purely out of having less things to manage (if i can have all of the app in one language, that's a huge gain in reduced complexity)

you should consider performance requirements and wasm limitations for this lib

easier to use http wrapper for existing c++ lib I suppose

I decide to rewrite it in c

like i said - i dont write for web. maybe when i'll start wearing my rust hat, i'll go and start touching wasm

I decide to rewrite it in c

why?

I decide to rewrite it in c

what are you trying to achieve?

he has a lib that's in C++ and exports C-like function interfaces. he was asking why his C application was now linking libstdc++
