C/C++ interpreter Ch 6.0 available

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 now available. The new release added
debug features in Ch P 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.


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 QNX Neutrino RTOS are available. Ch Standard Edition
is free for both commercial and non-commercial uses in all platforms. Ch
Student Edition is free for registered students in educational
institutions. For Ch Professional Edition, the price starts at $399 and
the discount is available for academic use. To purchase Embedded Ch,
