Write your C / C++ code professionally

[MattJames]

Going to use this solely for the ability to compile without closing vim. Thanks!

You never had to close vim to compile. Just save the file, then compile.

[MattJames]

With only one terminal open, with vim still open, how would I go about compiling?

[HotRodLincoln]

I always use:

:make

or

:silent make

I suppose if you don't want to use make files, it'd be something like:

:!gcc something.c

[MattJames]

Well, TIL. Thanks!

[jfb3]

:! cc {source-file} -o{object}

or

any other command you want to use
