[google-appengine] Re: hosting a c compiler on gae

2011-09-29 Thread madmax
@Jeff Schnitzer : My app provide programming tests to users. Users can
code the solutions in c or c++. I am planning to provide a feature
where the users can compile their code and test for correctness.
Obviously they wont be running the code. Have tried many ways to
implement this feature. The obvious solution would be to have a Linode
or EC2 backend and let the compilation be done there. But it would be
more efficient to have something supported on gae. Now i kno there is
no way to do it than  source the code to EC2 or Linode.

@Ikai Lan : Thanks for the suggestion and will try the solution .

@Kaan Soral: I know how the coding websites work and have written one
myself. And I don't want to write something which already exists.
Don't you call me childish,  I know what I am doing and I assume you
understand that requirements for an app come out of nowhere when you
run a customer centric application. If you are not clear with what I
have written please ask me to clarify  , I would be happy to do that.
If you don't have patience for that or  don't feel like doing it, well
its ur choice. But don't call me childish.

 I have worked on this topic before

 and let me tell you your requests are childish

 what where you thinking while you were writing your coding website on
 gae?

 other than these, you can easily create a compiling and running
 service, which will work asynchronously and notify gae when the
 process is finished. you can build it on Amazon for example.

 and again, let me tell you,  all the coding websites out there works
 like this.

 so improve yourself a bit, don't expect everything from gae

  Hi,
    It looks like I have to move away from app engine if I want to host
  a compiler. I did a thorough search and seems no way I can host a
  compiler on gae  efficiently.
  Sad that I will have to rebuild the website again from scratch to the
  specifications of another infrastructure. Last hope.. Any alternatives
  possible?? Even remote possibilities . Does google provide any
  instances??

     App engine should provide more features to developers to make
  itself as a serious platform for web development.

You could have another server provide a compile service, and have your
Appengine app communicate with it via URLfetch, as you suggest. There
will be inefficiencies here obviously, and you'll have to contend with
the URLfetch size and time limits.

You could also look for pure python compilers, which could run on
Appengine.

Cheers
