You post a compile-goal:

    post_goal("compile(mycode)");
    EC_resume();

You use an EC_ref where the ECLiPSe code expects a free variable:

    EC_ref X;
    post_goal(term(EC_functor("concat_test",3), "a", 123, X));
    EC_resume();

after the call, you can extract the result, e.g.

    char *s;
    if (EC_word(X).is_string(&s) == EC_succeed)
	cout << "Result is " << s << "\n";
    else
	cout << "No result\n";
