binfmtcxx-interpreter1
Binfmt_misc c++ handler
Usage
binfmtcxx-interpreter C++-source-file-name
[command-line
opions ...]
Overview
binfmtcxx-interpreter compiles a C++ source file specified on the command-line using C++ compiler, and executes the resulting file.
It is designed to be used as a handler for binfmt_misc handler, which is a system used in Linux for handling arbitrary files as executables.
The command-line options are passed on to the compiled binary.
File magic
There is a requirement for C++ source files to have the magic characters /*BINFMTCXX: at the beginning of the file.
That line also is used to specify the additional command-line options for C++ compiler.
