Shell Access with C++ Recommendations

xander.grespesky

hi all,

I'm looking for recommendations for unix "shell access" services that
provide a c++ compiler (gcc or intel). free would be preferable.
basically i'm looking at testing out some networking related code over
the internet.
any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Install Linux on a spare machine. Now you have your own "shell access".

That's a really dumb answer Sam, obviously i have a few boxes I'm
playing with locally. But looking at the caliber of your past post
responses I'm not the least surprised.

The only free shell I am aware of is: http://silenceisdefeat.org/

You have to pay a token $1 or something small by paypal but then it is
free after that. I've had mine for a few years now. Their main box is
OpenBSD. It's quite slow, though, and with load averages between 5 and 6
so not suitable for compiling large applications.

There are plenty of pay for shells available and if you want a decent
speed then you're probably going to have to "shell out".

I'm not sure what you mean by "shell access" services. C++ has
a standard function, system() which allows invoking another
program. This program can be a shell, and on Unix based
machines, it will be a shell---Posix requires that system()
invoke a shell to interpret the command, but you'll have to see
your compiler documentation to find out what it actually does.

The only real problem is that the shell commands aren't really
portable. Still, Unix look-alikes abound, and there are a
number of Unix-like tool kits for Windows, so if you use a set
of Unix commands (not from the latest Posix standard, but
something a bit older), you can obtain a limited amount of
portability, sufficient for many uses.

I'll check that out, thanks for the recommendation.

I'd be willing to fork-out a bit depedning on the level of service and
available tools. Do you have any specfic providers in mind?

Hi James,
I'm not sure if you're joking or are serious... either way thanks for
the bit on system.
