Thanks for this @Gnimuc , having Cxx back will be awesome!

I like your plan, @Gnimuc - again, thanks for trying to resurrect Cxx!

I also had no success with using the REPL, it's seems completely broken at the moment. Anything I type in there seems to result in a segfault, e.g. ``` julia>...

Hm, indeed, on Ubuntu everything seems fine, I also can't reproduce on Ubuntu 16.04. However, on CentOS-7, the problem is reproducible: ``` julia> versioninfo() Julia Version 1.1.1 Commit 55e36cc308 (2019-05-16...

But shouldn't `cxx" int a = 1;" ` fail too, if that's the reason? That's what's confusing me: Everything that I tried so far works fine, except for REPL mode.

Yes, same for me, `cxx` works, but Cxx REPL crashes. ``` $ julia (v1.1) pkg> status Status `[...]/environments/v1.1/Project.toml` (empty environment) (v1.1) pkg> add Cxx#master [...] julia> using Cxx [ Info:...

Oh, that looks like a nice solution, @c-wicklein - I can't quite get it to work yet, though. With ```shell export CXXJL_ROOTDIR=/opt/rh/devtoolset-8/root ``` and ``` (v1.1) pkg> build Cxx julia>...

Ah, I would always need a custom-built Julia? Hm, that may not be so attractive to the average user - would it be possible to provide CentOS-7-compatible DSOs? Or would...
