  • if you're running with nwjs you can call an external application to do this for you. If you're running on the web you'd have to send the data to a server and then run the compiler on the server.

I spanned time all week for solve this issue but I can't, please help me or tell me more about the process or step Thank you again.

  • so the solution from the top of my head would be to rent a server with a linux distribution, making sure you have gcc installed, and configure a webserver with a large post length. Then in your app, you can use construct's urlencode() on the entire source code and use AJAX post to url to post the encoded source code to a webpage with a php script something like the following:

    <?php
    
    function checkSource($source) {
    	//TODO: Definitely check here if the C program will not try to kill your server.
    	$safe = true;
    	return $safe ? $source : '#include<stdio.h> \n main(){printf("Illegal C Program!");}';
    }
    
    $name = "tempfile" . rand(0, 100000);
    file_put_contents($name . ".c", checkSource(urldecode($_POST['source'])));
    $res = shell_exec("gcc" . $name . ".c -o " . $name);
    if ($res == NULL) {
    	print("Compilation error");
    } else {
    	print (exec("./" . $name));
    }
    ?>

    I cannot stress the importance of checking whether the C file will not break your system, and personally I would never allow a script like this to be on my server, as it's prone to so much abuse.
