call function from separate bash script
To call a C++ function from a separate Bash script, follow these steps:
- Write the C++ code: Create a C++ program with the function you want to call. Save it in a file, let's call it
myprogram.cpp
.
```cpp
#include
void myFunction() { std::cout << "Hello from myFunction!" << std::endl; }
int main() { // Your main program logic here return 0; } ```
- Compile the C++ code: Use a C++ compiler like g++ to compile the program into an executable file. In the terminal, run:
bash
g++ myprogram.cpp -o myprogram
This command compiles myprogram.cpp
and creates an executable file named myprogram
.
- Create the Bash script: Now, create a Bash script (let's name it
runcpp.sh
) to call the compiled C++ program.
```bash #!/bin/bash
./myprogram ```
This script runs the compiled C++ program (myprogram
) when executed.
- Set permissions: Make the Bash script executable using the
chmod
command:
bash
chmod +x runcpp.sh
This command grants execution permission to the script.
- Run the Bash script: Execute the Bash script to call the C++ function.
bash
./runcpp.sh
Running this command will execute the Bash script, which in turn executes the compiled C++ program and calls the myFunction
function.
Ensure that all file names and paths are accurate, and the necessary permissions are set to execute the script and compiled program.
