Q: Any C IDE that compiles in RAM

The old Turbo Pascal did everything in RAM after the inital load. Even the library was kept in RAM so the linker didn't touch the disk.

Do any C IDE's do that?

Or any IDE for any language?

Python IDLE makes me save my file each time I run it. That seems contrary to the interactive shell principle. It should let me pass the file from the editor to the shell without saving it. And it should cache the libraries in RAM if it
doesn't already. Is there a way to make IDLE work in RAM like this?

Use an external program to make a command macro for CTRL-S CTRL-R, problem solved.

I dunno about something like that, but it doesn't have anything to do with interactive Shell... although, I just remembered Reinteract, a python Shell/Editor that executes things in the editor itself, it's pretty nice.

Idiot. Read about paging and virtual memory. then you'll understand.
Better yet... Read SICP

SLIME doesn't make you save a file to load your code in. Squeak doesn't. Neither does most anything with a REPL.

Thanks for answering the question.
I'll try SLIME.
I suspected there was a C IDE that caches all its files in RAM
because C compiling/linking was pretty slow at one time. Someone
must have tried the Turbo Pascal caching trick to speed it up.

Reinteract is the right idea. But it's a 1 man project and probably buggy. Looks worth a try.

I'm amused that OP assumed it was a C IDE.

OP is amused that you're an idiot.

Most any language offers the basics to let you do simple, procedural programming for prototyping and one-use scripts.

The issue here is fast IDE that doesn't make you commit every little edit to disk, not language.

...but I'll grant you that I could have worded post 6 better.

Clarify.

1) Install FreeBSD
2) memfs -M -s100m -o union /dev/md /
3) do disk operations????
4) PROFIT: DISK OPERATIONS ARE IN MEMORY
5) also sage.

a.k.a. RAM drive.
fu_rd19i.zip was the leading RAM drive for DOS/Win95/98.
Don't know what the leader is for WinNT/2000/XP.
I used to copy my ported UNIX commands cat.exe, ls.exe, ...
to a RAM drive so I could write a bash script that looped over 500,000 files without thrashing the disk to keep reloading those programs.
Someone always brings up disk caches when RAM drives get discussed. That's not the same thing. You don't specify the files to keep in a disk cache.

The word pirahna, is all I can think of that rhymes with marijuana

Marijuana MUST be legalized.
