Hi all,

I use C++ source code blocks in babel frequently and I am very happy with the 
results. As C++ is a compiled language, ob-C.el does not support sessions.

Unfortunately, this breaks a little my litterate programming workflow, since I 
don't know how to use small code snippets without sessions.

I have recently discovered cling [1], [2] a C++ interpreter which comes with de 
Root package [3]. I have also found a cling inferior mode [4] to interact with 
the interpreter in a comint buffer.

I was wondering if it would be difficult to update ob-C.el to use cling for 
session support. My elisp knowledge is too poor to understand what is involved 
in doing such a thing, but I would be interested in trying or helping somebody 
do it. Unfortunately, I have the impression that the developers of ob-C.el are 
not around this list anymore?

I would very much appreciate suggestions on how to proceed.

Thank you.

Garjola.
