CINT is a C/C++ interpreter aimed at processing C/C++ scripts. Scripts are programs performing specific tasks. Generally execution time is not critical, but rapid development is. Using an interpreter the compile and link cycle is dramatically reduced facilitating rapid development. CINT makes C/C++ programming enjoyable even for part-time programmers.

CINT covers about 95% of ANSI C and 85% of C++. CINT, written in ANSI C (about 80000 loc), is solid enough to interpret itself and let the interpreted version execute a program. A CINT script can call compiled classes/functions and compiled code can make callbacks to CINT user defined functions.

Utilities , like makecint and rootcint, automate the process of embedding compiled C/C++ library code as shared objects (as Dynamic Link Library, DLL, or shared library, .so). Source files and shared objects can be dynamically loaded/unloaded without stopping the CINT process. CINT offers a gdb like debugging environment for interepreted programs.
