I am not super experienced with c++ and I know that the syntax for C++ and the code written/compiled by the arduino IDE are slightly different.
I would like to be able to write code, compile it the same way the arduino IDE does, and run it, without uploading it to a board.
I dont need to test any code that interacts with any hardware. I simply want to be able to test basic syntax to make sure my concepts work before integrating with the full program.
I have written a few Arduino programs and I think the most complicated thing I've used were pointer functions, but I'd like to be able to test out code without needing to upload to a board for every change, while relying on Serial.print.
I have found alternatives that help with debugging and although that is helpful, I'd like to avoid the need to upload to a board every time I want to test changes for basic concepts
