[comp.lang.c++] Is Runtime Creation of Methods/Functions Possible?

byerly@paul.rutgers.edu (Boyce Byerly ) (03/21/89)

I need to know whether C++ has a construct analogous to "eval" in
LISP, or "Perform" in Smalltalk.  In other words, is there a way to
create a message representing a function invocation on the fly,
perhaps by putting the strings together and then treating it as a
piece of code?  Would it be possible to send text representing code to
a file, compile that file, and later link to it?

	Thanks for any help,
