Ann: C/C++ interpreter Ch 7.0 released

SoftIntegration releases C/C++ interpreter Ch 7.0 and Embedded Ch 7.0
SoftIntegration, Inc. announced the availability of Ch 7.0 and
Embedded Ch 7.0. Ch is an embeddable C/C++ interpreter for
cross-platform scripting,
2D/3D plotting, numerical computing, shell programming and embedded
scripting.
Ch version 7.0 is a major release with many new features to make
Ch
especially appealing for secondary school and college students
to learn
computing and math.
Teachers and students find Ch one of the best learning
tools
for their teaching and learning. "Ch is as close to a perfect teaching
environment as I have seen in 20 years for teaching C or C++," said Professor
Gene Sheppard, Georgia Perimeter College, "I advocate Ch to all of my CS
students. If I were in charge of the world, I would require all schools to use
an interactive environment such as Ch."


Many new math functions and features for plotting, QuickAnimation,
ChIDE and Embedded Ch are added in the latest release. Several third
party utility programs in Windows are added. They include console2
which supports Ch shell Tabs and allows copy and paste more
conveniently in a Ch shell.


Programs putty, WinSCP, 7zip, splint, and
png2icon
are also added.
"The key to success for the youth to pursue a career
in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)
is to have a strong
foundation in math and
computing," said SoftIntegration's President Dawn
Cheng. "We are proud to
release Ch 7.0, which can motivate and inspire K-12
students to learn Algebra and computing more effectively."
Below is a list
of major features in Ch.
Cross-platform C/C++ interpreter
Ch supports 1999
ISO C Standard (C99) and C++ classes. Ch also supports
many industry
standards including POSIX,
socket/Winsock, X11/Motif, OpenGL, ODBC, C LAPACK,
GTK+, Win32, and
CGI. With Ch SDK,
functions in static or dynamic binary
C/C++ libraries can be executed
in Ch shell or script file.
User-friendly
integrated development environment (IDE)
ChIDE is efficient and lightweight.
No need to create project or
workspace to run your program. ChIDE is also the
most effective IDE for
instructors to make interactive classroom
presentations to demonstrate
different programming features and concepts, and
respond to students'
questions.


Embeddable scripting
Embedded Ch allows
users to embed Ch into C/C++ application such as
game, semiconductor ATE, SoC,
CAM, IC, PCB, RF, MEMS, LED as a scripting
engine. Embedded Ch supports
multi-threading and debug.
C/C++ applications can be extended with all
features of Ch
scripting. It has a small footprint. The pointer and time
deterministic
nature of the C language provides a perfect interface
in
real-time systems.
Shell programming and cross-platform scripting
Ch
bridges the gap between the C language and shell languages. It is a
genuine
C shell -- C compatible shell.
Ch is an interpretive implementation of C,
similar to Unix/MS-DOS
shells.
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.
2D/3D plotting
Ch supports high-level C++ 2D/3D graphical
plotting.
Two and three dimensional graphical plots can be very easily
accomplished.
With SoftIntegration graphical library (SIGL), the same
program
using 2D/3D plotting features can be executed in Ch
or compiled using C++
compilers.
Numerical computing
Ch numerical extensions are the best choice
for numerical computing in
the C/C++ domain.
Ch has built-in type-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.
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.
