How to run OpenGL code with out compiling?

Question

So I have some openGL code (such code for example)

/*   FUNCTION:        YCamera :: CalculateWorldCoordinates
     ARGUMENTS:       x         mouse x coordinate
                      y         mouse y coordinate
                      vec       where to store coordinates
     RETURN:          n/a
     DESCRIPTION:     Convert mouse coordinates into world coordinates
*/
void YCamera :: CalculateWorldCoordinates(float x, float y, YVector3 *vec) { // START GLint viewport[4]; GLdouble mvmatrix[16], projmatrix[16];

 GLint real_y;
GLdouble mx, my, mz;

glGetIntegerv(GL_VIEWPORT, viewport);
glGetDoublev(GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, mvmatrix);
glGetDoublev(GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX, projmatrix);

real_y = viewport[3] - (GLint) y - 1;   // viewport[3] is height of window in pixels
gluUnProject((GLdouble) x, (GLdouble) real_y, 1.0, mvmatrix, projmatrix, viewport, &mx, &my, &mz);

/*      'mouse' is the point where mouse projection reaches FAR_PLANE.
        World coordinates is intersection of line(camera->mouse) with plane(z=0) (see LaMothe 306)

        Equation of line in 3D:
                (x-x0)/a = (y-y0)/b = (z-z0)/c          

        Intersection of line with plane:
                z = 0
                x-x0 = a(z-z0)/c  <=> x = x0+a(0-z0)/c  <=> x = x0 -a*z0/c
                y = y0 - b*z0/c

*/
double lx = fPosition.x - mx;
double ly = fPosition.y - my;
double lz = fPosition.z - mz;
double sum = lx*lx + ly*ly + lz*lz;
double normal = sqrt(sum);
double z0_c = fPosition.z / (lz/normal);

vec->x = (float) (fPosition.x - (lx/normal)*z0_c);
vec->y = (float) (fPosition.y - (ly/normal)*z0_c);
vec->z = 0.0f;
}

I want to run It but with out precompiling. Is there any way to do such thing

Answer 1

This is possible with LWJGL (OpenGL binding) and the REPL in Scala (runs on the JVM). I imagine that other languages like Clojure/Jython could also handle this request -- either through LWJGL or Jogl. There are also OpenGL bindings for a whole host of languages that don't require (explicit) compiling or come with their own REPL and/or 'integrated IDE'.

C normally always requires a compilation, but I did find this: http://neugierig.org/software/c-repl/ and I'm sure there are other projects similar in nature.

Happy coding.
