here's my problem:

i want to write a shell script and compile a c source code from the very same script using a Pipe to the gcc compiler. Like gcc -o Name_outputfile -x c - . I don't want to compile an external c file! The code should be in the same script. Is there a way to realize this? Thanks!

So basically you want the compiled code in the text of the .sh file? – AnthonyJClink Jun 15 '17 at 14:08
or like... .sh ` do script 'some c code' – AnthonyJClink Jun 15 '17 at 14:09
if that's necessary yes, but i had in mind, that i call the script in the terminal and it would show me the compiled c code, the output. like if i compile a code in an environment. – revilo Jun 15 '17 at 14:13
I think the author wants to use process substitution here and send text input as a file to the gcc compiler – AnthonyJClink Jun 15 '17 at 14:13
What's wrong with creating a temporary file with the .c suffix and compiling that, and removing it when done? – Jonathan Leffler Jun 15 '17 at 14:14
or like... .sh ` do script 'some c code' --> yes, exactly! – revilo Jun 15 '17 at 14:14
