I am currently doing some genetic research on the life cycle of viruses
(biological as opposed to computer based) and require some information about
the core operations of the C programming language so that I can do a little
modelling of viral replication concepts.
As far as I remember from the courses I took many years ago, the majority of
the language is written as include files that are simply extra functions
consisting of a core set of instructions. I need to find out what these core
functions / commands are. Ideally I need to limit these in number to the
fewest numbers that would still allow the language to be as useable as it is
now.
I am not entirely sure that this is making any sense whatsoever!!
My second question is how would I go about allowing a running piece of code
to modify a piece of code, and then have that code compiled and executed
automatically? If any of you have any code fragments at all, this would be
extremely well appreciated as it would mean I could concentrate on my core
business of genetic research instead of spending six months attempting to
get a single piece of code doing what I am sure is a rather simple
operation.
(I do hope that last part is not excessively cheeky!!)
Thank you all in advance for what I am sure will be invaluable advice.
