Yes but this way it won't work on environments that have not /tmp, or use other convention for directory separator (e.g. \ instead of /); I suppose it would have not worked anyway out of a posix-like shell... --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 11:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
: It wouldn't have, which is why I felt justified adding /tmp, touch and chmod. /tmp was the only widely-available approach I could think of for temporary files. I would have preferred a means to have gcc output to stdout, and then execute that, but I don't know of any shell or common program that would allow you to execute a raw binary fed in by way of STDIN. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 16:35, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
