Have you tried any of these agent based workflows that claim to be able to loop with some amount of reasoning ?

No, but I have read many papers where people have some success but don't really get it to work consistently.

From Godel, Escher, Bach and my own experience I'm afraid that's a way to spend the next 1000 years pushing a bubble around under a rug.

If you had something that fully automated the cycle of running the compiler and running tests at least I wouldn't have the tedium of doing all that, particularly the bit about having to reprompt with the last compiler error.

Right. I think the ability to run tests/compilation as a feedback mechanism is definitely interesting .

I wonder whether the problem is that its landed on an incorrect output sample (i.e re-sampling another code output would fix it ) .. vs … a feedback loop on the compiler output is what it really needs ..
