Clang-REPL kernel for Jupyter

Clang-Repl kernel for Jupyter

A simple Jupyter kernel for C/C++ using Clang-Repl. It works on Windows and Linux. (MacOS is not tested)

See: Clang-Repl

Please use Python 3.11 or higher. (3.12 is recommended)

CAUTION

currently windows printf() not working. (It will be fixed soon). please use cout instead of printf().

Trouble shot

When you see

/usr/include/stdio.h:33:10: fatal error: 'stddef.h' file not found
   33 | #include <stddef.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~
Segmentation fault

put path include 'stddef.h' file like and uninstall and reinstall clang-repl-kernel (You need to change llvm-18 to your llvm)

export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/lib/llvm-18/lib/clang/18/include/
pip uninstall clang_repl_kernel
pip install clang_repl_kernel

When you see

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ipykernel'

Use venv or conda environment and install notebook

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install notebook
pip -r requirements.txt

From Pip to install

To install clang_repl_kernel from pip into the active Python environment

    pip install clang_repl_kernel

From Git using Conda

To install clang_repl_kernel from git into a Conda environment

    git clone https://github.com/ormastes/jupyter_kernels/clang_repl_kernel.git
    cd clang_repl_kernel
    conda create -n ker jupyter
    conda activate ker
    pip install .

Using the Clang-Repl kernel

Notebook: The File > New > Notebook menu in the notebook should show an Kernel Selection for the notebook. Select kernel ''Clang-Repl (C++xx)'' to start a new notebook. (XX is the version of C++ you want to use)

Console frontends: To use it with the console frontends, add --kernel clang_repl_cppXX to their command line arguments. (XX is the version of C++ you want to use)

It fully checked on Windows 11 with clang 18.0.0, Python 3.11.5 and notebook 7.0.4. It fully checked on Ubuntu 20.04 with build_essential, clang 18.0.0, Python 3.10.22 and notebook 7.0.4.

Install default toolkit for cdoctest

run next command after install clang_repl_kernel

python -m clang_repl_kernel --install-default-toolchain
