About C++ Insights

C++ Insights is a clang-based source-to-source transformation tool that runs on its website. It rewrites a C++ snippet so you can see what the compiler does behind the scenes, showing the result in C++ rather than as an AST dump or assembler. The goal is code that still compiles.

Pricing is not clearly stated.

Best for: C++ teachers and students who want to see compiler transformations in readable code.
