Multi-file support for APIs

Multi-file support in compiler APIs enhances the processing and compilation of multiple interconnected source files. The workflow for multi-file compilation involves parsing individual files, analyzing dependencies to determine the correct compilation order, compiling each file considering these dependencies, and finally linking the compiled files to produce the executable or final output.

API usage workflow

• Scenario 1: Upload project files and execute them at once.

• Scenario 2: Upload project files, then execute in the next API call.

• Scenario 3: Upload project files and execute at once, then execute the existing file again.

Multi-file API endpoints

Upload and execute at once endpoint

 https://api.jdoodle.com/engine/execute-api-multifile

Input parameters

Example request

curl -L \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  'https://api.jdoodle.com/v1/engine/execute-api-multifile' \
  -d '{"clientId":"your_client_id_here","clientSecret":"your_client_secret_here","language":"c99","versionIndex":5,"multiFile":True,"files":[{"name":"main.c","content":"#include <stdio.h>\nint main() { printf(\"Hello, World!\\n\"); return 0; }"}],"libs":["pcre"],"mainFile":"main.c","args":"","stdin":""}'

Response fields

Response example

{
"output": "Pattern matched at offset 0\n",
"statusCode": 200,
"memory": "1920",
"cpuTime": "0.00",
"compilationStatus": None,
"projectKey": "32904e2a-c9be-4d84-a9c3-27b2cc8a2e2a"
}

Note : You can remove the “libs” field if no library is used, and “projectKey” can be used in the next execution API call.

Upload only endpoint
