SoftIntegration Releases Ch® 2.0 ---
C Virtual Machine with Classes for Rapid Application Development
DAVIS, Calif., October 2, 2001 -
SoftIntegration, Inc., the leader of
scripting technology for ubiquitous computing,
today announced the release of Ch version 2.0,
a C virtual machine with classes.
Ch is the most complete C interpreter in existence.
It can avoid lengthy compile/link/execute/debug cycles for application
development.
Ch supports C90, POSIX, and socket/WinSock with over
1,000 functions. Ch is the first implementation of
complex numbers and variable length arrays (VLAs) in
the latest 1999 C standard.
Programs using complex type defined in C99 and complex classes
in C++ can readily run in Ch without modification.
"Script computing is the future,"
says Dr. Harry H. Cheng, the inventor
of the Ch language environment.
"The programming paradigm has shifted from non-portable,
domain specific programming to
portable and rapid application development,
from proprietary languages to open languages and
from system programming languages to scripting languages.
Ch allows C/C++ programmers to learn one language,
and use it anywhere for almost any programming purpose."
Ch has many high-level extensions to C, including
classes in C++, very high-level shell programming,
cross-platform Ch applets, generic functions, string type,
computational arrays for linear algebra
and matrix computations,
user-friendly 2D/3D graphic plotting,
classes for Common Gateway Interface (CGI),
and advanced high-level numerical functions for
linear systems, differential equation solving,
integration, non-linear equations, Fourier analysis, etc.
For example, linear equation b = A*x can be written
verbatim in Ch. The user does not need to worry
about the underlying optimization with fast and accurate
numerical algorithms.
"Ch is the first implementation, portable
to different platforms, of major new features
of complex numbers, variable length arrays (VLAs),
and IEEE floating-point arithmetic added in C99,"
notes Tom MacDonald, the former chair of the ANSI C
Standard Committee J11.
"I have to mention how impressed I am with both the
quality of Ch and how complete the environment is.
It took a lot of vision to put all of Ch together like it is.
I like many high-level extensions such as string type,
computational arrays, and shell programming in Ch.
I had recently ported code written over years in C shell,
Perl and Python to Ch.
The porting was very simple and straightforward."
"Ch is gospels to engineers," adds Professor Gary Wang
at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
of the University of Manitoba, Canada.
"I installed Ch 2.0 on my desktop and just wrote a few
simple lines of Ch code, all my large legacy C/C++ programs
written for Unix start to work gracefully on a PC without
tweaking up codes and going through
the tedious compile and link cycle.
Ch with graphical plotting and advanced numerical features
is an ideal tool for teaching
engineering courses with numerical computations."
Ch is an alternative to other scripting languages and
mathematical software packages for cross-platform shell
programming to automate tasks, regression test, system
administration, real-time interactive computing, rapid
prototyping, 2D/3D plotting, scientific numerical computing,
and Web development. Ch is also a very effective interactive
environment to teach and learn programming in C with
new features in the latest C99 standard and
object-based engineering software design with
practical applications, as well as to develop materials
for distance learning.
Ch is available for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000, Linux,
Solaris, and HP-UX.
Education/student discounts are available.
