Does "root" do what you want?
https://root.cern/
https://root.cern/primer/#learn-c-at-the-root-prompt
Includes a c++ interpreter (which includes all of C) that interprets C as
you go, then at your option, compile a just-interpreted function,
dynamically link it, and use the compiled version of that function in
further interpreted commands.

I think this (root) is under-appreciated or unknown by C community.
