I don't know if you have seen this paper:

The paper explains the procedure for doing this in Windows. Does anybody
know if one could do the same in Linux with shared libraries?



Hi!

I put together a little package last year to do "Live Coding" in
Ada under GNAT/Linux.

(...)

I think this goes a bit beyond implementing plug-ins because the
new code was written out and compiled by the running program.
And it could run new statements and function calls dynamically
generated.


It's somewhat creepy... :) Skynet anyone?

In curious to know if anyone else has tried "Live Coding"
in Ada, and what the outcome was.

Not this exactly, but when you do some coding in Java within Eclipse you really get a taste for compilation on the fly...
