digitalmars.D - Is there an 'rdmd' equivalent for C lang?

Hi,

I'm enjoying learning D, especially using [rdmd 
tool](https://dlang.org/rdmd.html), where I can edit-run quickly, 
that checks dependencies and freshness of files in a project.
It does feel like working with Python, but with C/C++ like syntax 
that I am familiar with.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there is such a tool for C 
that is as convenient as `rdmd`?

Thanks.

Hi Ikel,

A bit late but I thought it could be useful.

There's a C compiler (tcc[1]) from Fabrice Bellard that has the 
option '-run' that allows to automatically run the generated 
executable.



Hope this helps.
Antonio

Hi Antonio, not late at all!

Never heard of Tiny C Compiler before. WI will give it a try.
Thank you.

Doesn't rdmd work with C code? D compilers can compile C code, so 
long as you don't rely too heavily on the preprocessor. I've 
never tried it with C files though.

Thanks Bachmeier.

I tried the example given in 
[ImportC](https://dlang.org/spec/importc.html) page but unable to 
get it to work.
I will revisit it again

Thanks Tejas for the reference to Cling. It does look promising.
