benabel / quarto_gcc_kernel

A simple example kernel for Jupyter (showcasing some quarto-specific features)

quarto_gcc_kernel

This is a fork of the quarto_echo_kernel project. It is a simple example of a Jupyter kernel that runs the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) to compile and run C code.

Installation

Not published to Pypi, you can install it from github:

pip install https://github.com/benabel/quarto_gcc_kernel/archive/main.zip

You can verify the installation with:

jupyter kernelspec list

Using the Gcc kernel

Notebook: The New menu in the notebook should show an option for an Gcc notebook.

Console frontends: To use it with the console frontends, add --kernel gcc to their command line arguments.

Configuration

Currently, the kernel can't be configured and will always use:

• -std=c99 for C code

• Wrap the code in a main function if it doesn't already have one with:

  `c #include <assert.h> #include <stdbool.h> #include <stddef.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> `

Contributing

I use this project for my courses and just fit my needs. If you want to improve it to fit yours, your contributions are welcome:)
