Not a problem at all. I am thankful for your advice and attention to this matter. -----Original Message----- From: gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Thomas Dineen Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2015 2:39 PM To: gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx; Thomas Dineen <tdineen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: A Question Gentle People: Please excuse any concerns about this question being posted to the wrong reflector as I am not sure where to ask this question! Question: Concerning applications which read in and then compile or interpret a script (Source) which contains C or C++ code or code which is similar to C/C++. The script once built becomes a function which is executable via the top level application menus. How is this concept implemented? Can one build a dynamic link library in an application (via gcc) and then execute the function contained in that library in the same application? One might call the new function as a subprogram? P.S. Is there a better reflector for this type of application question? Thomas Dineen
