C/C++ interpreter Ch 6.0, and Embedded Ch 6.0 Released
DAVIS, California, February 15, 2008 -
SoftIntegration, Inc. today announced the availability of Ch 6.0 and Embedded Ch 6.0. Ch is an embeddable C/C++ interpreter for cross-platform scripting,
2D/3D plotting, numerical computing, shell programming and embedded scripting.
Ch and Embedded Ch version 6.0 are the most stable release.
The new release added debug features in Ch Professional Edition and
Embedded Ch.
A new Ch Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
is included in Ch Professional Edition.
This new ChIDE
supports the debug of C/C++ and Ch Programs. This user friendly IDE
is especially suitable for teaching and learning computer programming.
In addition, the new release contains many new plotting features, including
multiple coordinates, a number of new plotting types such as filled curves,
vectors, finance bars, candlesticks, boxes, error lines, error bars,
and many options to configure plots.
Embedded Ch contains extensive debug and callback interfaces.
"I was pleasantly surprised to find out how simple Embedded Ch was to
implement inside our software products Visual Chip and Fab It! 2008.
Embedded Ch is well documented and within a few hours we were able to
create
our own custom API's, compared to Python which took us weeks,"
said Simon Garrison, CEO, Numerical Innovations LLC.
"I would recommend Embedded Ch to anyone looking to embed a C scripting language
into their software product."
Below is a list of Ch major features.
C/C++ interpreter
Ch supports 1999 ISO C Standard (C99) and C++ classes. Ch also supports
many industry standards with over 8,000 functions, including POSIX,
socket/Winsock, X11/Motif, OpenGL, ODBC, C LAPACK, GTK+, Win32, XML, and
CGI. With built-in
Ch SDK,
functions in static or dynamic binary C/C++ libraries can be executed
in Ch script file or Ch command shell without re-compilation.
Programs can also be developed and executed using a
user-friendly ChIDE.
Embeddable scripting
Ch is easy and simple for embedded scripting.
Embedded Ch allows users to embed Ch into C/C++ application programs
and hardware as a scripting engine.
It is ideal for open-architecture application integration.
With Embedded Ch, C/C++ applications can be extended with all features of Ch.
It allows execution of C/C++ scripts generated dynamically.
Embedded Ch supports multi-threading and debug.
It has a small footprint. The pointer and time deterministic
nature of the C language provides a perfect interface with hardware in real-time systems.
Shell programming and cross-platform scripting
Ch shell is C compatible shell while C-shell (csh) is a C like shell. Ch is an interpretive implementation of C, similar to Unix/MS-DOS shells. Ch in Windows includes over 200 commonly used Unix commands for portable shell programming. Ch can also be used as a login shell just like sh, csh and ksh. Ch bridges the gap between the C language and shell languages. With its built-in string type and many enhanced scripting features, Ch is an alternative to other scripting languages for automating repetitive tasks, regression test, and hardware testing with direct interface to hardware.
2D/3D plotting
Ch graphical extensions are the best choice for plotting in
the C/C++ domain.
Ch supports high-level 2D/3D graphical plotting.
Two and three dimensional graphical plots can be very easily accomplished.
Plots in Ch can be generated from data arrays or files, and can be displayed on a screen, saved as an image file in a variety of different file formats, or output to the stdout stream in a proper image format for display in a Web browser through a Web server.
With SoftIntegration graphical library (SIGL), the same
program using 2D/3D plotting features can be executed in Ch
or compiled using C++ compilers without any modification.
Numerical computing
Ch numerical extensions are the best choice for numerical computing in
the C/C++ domain.
Ch has built-in generic mathematical
functions and computational arrays for linear algebra and matrix
computations.
It contains advanced high-level numerical functions
for linear systems, differential equation solving, integration,
non-linear equations, Fourier analysis, curve fitting, etc. For
example, linear system equation b = A*x can be written verbatim in Ch.
Ch supports C LAPACK,
GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library, and
GNU Scientific Library.
Applications written using these libraries
can be executed in Ch
or compiled using C compilers without any modification.
Ch toolkits and third party software support
Ch is ideal for rapid application development and deployment.
Ch supports an increasing number of third party software applications. It includes Ch Control toolkit, Ch Mechanism Toolkit, Ch NAG Statistics Package, Ch CGI toolkit, Ch ODBC toolkit, Ch XML toolkit, ChExcel for manipulating Microsoft Excel in C/C++ scripts,
Intel OpenCV for computer vision, ImageMagick for
image processing, National Instruments' data acquisition toolkit NI-DAQ and motion control toolkit NI-Motion.
Pricing and Availability
Ch and Embedded Ch for Windows, Linux x86, Linux PPC, Mac OS X, Solaris, HP-UX, FreeBSD and
