There is no compiler that I know of (but maybe there should be a run time 
support library that could do some of it.)

This is a product known as C-TERP.  It is a "C" interpreter.  It executes 
"C" source code in a real-time environment (simuler to a BASIC interpreter)
and in the process does some testing of arguments.  It will even allow
you to "link" in your faviourate (my spelling is terable ain't it) object
code to be executed.  

This is a PC based product but I think a UNIX version is soon (it not
already) to be announced.

C-Terp is marketed by:
    Gimpel Software
