Cling

Jul 20, 2023

##

Cling is an interactive C++ interpreter, built on the top of LLVM and Clang libraries. Its advantages over the standard interpreters are that it has command prompt and uses just-in-time JIT compiler for compilation. One of Cling’s main goals is to provide contemporary, high-performance alternative of the current C++ interpreter in the ROOT project “CINT”. The backward-compatibility with CINT is major priority during the development.

Its main advantages are Production-grade parser. Just-in-time compiler JIT. Modular C++ API from the ground up. Separate parser and execution engine. C++ 11 support through clang.
