Hi,

This is just to mention a way to improve the programmers collaboration process.

Some guys says that while they have compilers they do not want such a tool online. Anyway, ideone.com and codepad are growing and one can ask why?

There are several possible reasons:
- you have no compiler but need just to check something quickly
- you want to show a bug in someones code
- you do not want to read a snippet which even does not compile.
- you do not want to read a code snippet which does not work even for tiny, primitive input data
- you want to check if your code behaves in the same way under the other compiler/system

Thus I would like to suggest integration such a service into the codecall. This is easily possible with for example with ideoneAPI (http://ideone.com/api).

This is actually a pretty neat idea. I'll pass it along to the admins and see what they think.

Backlinks to use a static configuration compiler, nice package there.

If a suggested code/method fails, informing us is less important than telling us why or what errors occurred.

No problem admins & mods are discussing it right now. It takes a lot of resources, though.

Please have a look at Run This! as a possible application, and at ideone API samples. Hope it might help.

TkTech already found those links. I'll let you know what we decide about this.

Still haven't decided, by the way. We're busy dealing with another problem right now.

Please have a look at an exemplary PHPBB add-on: http://bbone.ideone.com

Close, we use vBulletin though unfortunately for these forums.

Your idea of integration is nice, although it is a task that requires much time to sanitize/implement (and too many months of testing to be truthful). It is best maybe to ask of this to become a sticky, so others will be aware of and use it often.

Thank you for your comment. PhpBB is our first attempt (we re not able to provide add-ons for all possible forums). Anyway, the BBone code is open ;)

Well, it sounds also good. Posting codes (or code fragments) with a link to online compiler with a runnable version of the same is getting popular.
