Creating an exe using another exe

Hi. I wanted to know if it is possible to create an exe by using
another exe created by C++? If it is possible, are there any examples
out there?

Sure. All you need is a C++ compiler (and probably linker) written in C++.

Now your question about the C++ *language* is....

Executables (or exes) are just files, so of course C++ can create
executables just like any other file. The trick is to know what the format
is for executables files on your system.

A good place to find out about file formats is www.wotsit.org, exe file
format is explained there.

If you can use a compiler from the command line, you can do this at run-time
with a call to system() or one of the spawn...() functions, or perhaps
fork()/exec...().
None of these are standard C++ though.


system() is, although of course exactly what it does (when called with
a non-null pointer) isn't defined by the standard.
