Right. Once the memory gets messed up, it is an undefined behaviour in
C/C++. The program may crash.

when you define
     char *szDave="the cat"
szDave is pointing to a string of static type

You should not delete the static data.
It is not a legal C/C++ code.

then, you copy the 'string' to a static data memory which had been
deleted already. This is not valid C/C++ code. It might crash even
for C/C++ program.  Under ch shell, it will exit.

You may visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ch_language/
for the discussion in the future.

Hi Ron,

The project looks great and should be very useful.
The contents of the tutorial appear well organized.
I am interested in helping you out.

Sqlite should be easy to integrate into Ch with Ch SDK.
You may take a look at the source code for Ch unixODBC at
http://www.softintegration.com/products/toolkit/odbc/
I can help you out on creating Ch SQLite.

As far as CGI is concerned, Ch has a toolkit called Ch CGI
available at http://www.softintegration.com/products/toolkit/cgi/
The APIs of Ch CGI are similar to ASP and JSP.

Regards,

Bo

I'm considering writing a large programming tutorial
using CH as the programming language.  This will be an
intermediate level tutorial that will conclude by
building a CGI Message Board from using the tools and
practices developed in the preceding chapters.  The
project would begin by writing a hashtable in order to
get familiar with the CH interpreter and then move
into basic CGI programming.

During the exploration of CGI, the tutorial will
construct, from scratch, a minimal CGI programming
library to be compiled into a shared object (dll) and
used in the rest of the project.  Once the reader has
accomplished using his own shared object in a program,
it is hoped that he could explore other programming
opportunities by wrapping someone else's *.so.With
that in mind, the next part of the tutorial would
cover using Sqlite.

As the tutorial begins to wind down, the reader would
be introduced to developing his own CGI templating
system.  At this point, the reader should have a very
through understanding of the C, CH, CGI, and related
technologies.  Polishing his new skill set,  the
reader could further explore project management
through the creation of a lightweight on-line message
board.

I'm considering this as an open source project.  As
such, I'm asking if there are any volunteers willing
to help.  I'm especially looking for help with
Chapters 10, 11, and 12 as outlined below but any help
would be appreciated.

All of your C code can run in Ch and be compiled in GCC.

Ch is a just superset of C.
All C code can run in Ch.
Like many C compilers with extension to ISO C, Ch also has some
extensions over ISO C for convenient scripting which might not be portable.

You can use Ch SDK to call the functions in DLLs. Ch SDK is
a part of Ch. That is how
OpenGL, ODBC, Win32, GTK+ works in Ch.

I'm interested in CH as a way to quickly write, test, and debug C
programs before compiling to a finished product.  So, my question is
how feasible is it to do my writing/testing using CH then compiling
using GCC?

Oh... and can CH use shared objects (dlls)

To use multi threading, you need to upgrade your compiler VC 6.0 to
VC++.NET. You need thread-safe library from the latest VC compiler.
If you don't use multithreading, it is not required
to upgrade your compiler.

Please make sure option

/MD is used during compilation

Hi,
I tried to embed Ch in our (huge) company project, but there were some
errors during linking due to conflicts of ambiguous definitions of
some "basic" functions (see below) in your library (embedch.lib) and
ours. Before, we've tried another interpreter called EiC, those
problems were solved when compiling its source library code as
multithreaded (same as our project). Is this the problem and how can
we solve it? Below is the output of MSVC6:

msvcrt.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: _exit already defined in
libcmtd.lib(crt0dat.obj)
msvcrt.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: _malloc already defined in
libcmtd.lib(dbgheap.obj)
msvcrt.lib(MSVCRT.dll) : error LNK2005: _free already defined in
libcmtd.lib(dbgheap.obj)

etc.

Yes. Sockets in Windows and Unix are different. You can use
#if _WIN32_
   ......
#else
   ......
#endif
in your program to deal with this problem. The sample socket
programs in Unix are available at
CHHOME/demos/lib/libc/sys/socket/client.ch
CHHOME/demos/lib/libc/sys/socket/server.ch

Does it mean the Windows just only supports the WinSock? If so, my
program couldn't be ported directly to unix or other machine except
using the conditional compilation. Right?

Hi Zhaoqing,

For TCP/IP communication using WinSock in Windows,
a socket needs to be initialized first by calling WSAStartup().
Please take a look at WinSock server/client sample programs in
c:/Ch/demos/lib/libc/winsock/client.ch and server.ch.

Ch - One Language for All (tm)

Hello everyone

I'm currently on a four day bicycle tour through
South Dakota and Minnesota and will be a bit out
of touch until I return.

As the founder and moderator of this group, I must
say, I am very pleased with how this group is working
so far.  I know I am learning more about ch than
I knew previously.  Good questions everyone.

I'll be back in regular communication in a few days.

Hi Zhaoqing,

For TCP/IP communication using WinSock in Windows,
a socket needs to be initialized first by calling WSAStartup().
Please take a look at WinSock server/client sample programs in
c:/Ch/demos/lib/libc/winsock/client.ch and server.ch.

After you installed Embedded Ch evaluation, you may find embedded
ch multi-threads examples:
  thread.c  threads.c  threadswin.c
at CHHOME/toolkit/demos/embedch/ref

Any suggestions are welcome.

I've only JUST stumbled upon ch and am quite excited about its
possibilities. The only thing I was unable to determine about it
however was whether or not it supported multiple threads.

Note: I haven't even installed ch yet; I've only browsed
SoftIntegration's web site and downloaded their Standard Edition
version. I should point out however that I *am* quite familiar with
Windows multi-threaded programming (CreateThread,
InitializeCriticalSection, CreateEvent, WaitForSingleObject,
SetEvent,
etc). The only thing I'm not clear on is how one calls into the Win32
API from ch.

Does anyone have and sample / example code that demonstrates how to
use
multiple threads in ch?

Or should I just RTFM? :)

Thanks.

That is great if you can help get it done.

Hi!

I am using ConTEXT editor as an ide. Any way it would be good if you

Ch itself has limited debugging capability.
You may find _stop() and debug in C:/Ch/docs/chguide.pdf.

As far as Embedded Ch is concerned, the debug capability has been planned
in our next release. Do you have your own IDE for editing and
running the scripts? we will provide the debug APIs for you to hook up.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi All!

My name is Foltos (this is actually a nick name)  and I just joined this
mailing list. I started using ch a few days ago. I plan to use it as a
test environment for embedded C applications.

My first question as aboug debugging. Does ch support any debuggers? If
yes from where can I get such a debugger? I am sure this question was
already answered a lot of times, but I could not find any mail about
this in the message history.

Thanks in advance!

I just wanted to send out a quick note welcoming all
the new members to this group.  Please send ideas on
how to improve this group and what information best
serves the ch community.

Do you use Ch Professional edition or softintegration
C++ graphical library (SIGL)?

can you post your sample code?

Harrald,

Depending on what your intended output is it sounds like that's what's supposed
to
happen with gnuplot.  When you call the "CPlot::plotting()" function, unless
you've
specified a different output type, gnuplot is called and the plot is displayed.

The simplest fix to this is to call "CPlot::outputType()" and specify
"PLOT_OUTPUTTYPE_FILE" as the first arguement.  The second arguement being the
file
type and the third being the file name.  See the "Chguide.pdf" in the
"ch_home_dir/docs/"
directory for info on file types.  This way the output of "::plotting()" is a
file and you can
view it anytime you want and the call to gnuplot.exe is suppressed.

The other option is to output to a stream, but depending on what you're doing
that could
be more complicated.  Hope this helps.

Hi all,

Just joined this Yahoo Group hoping that maybe some of you can help me
on the 'problem' I have.
I have integrated chplot in my C++ project for making plots of time-
responses of simulations.
The problem is that every time I plot, the window of the executable
gnuplot.exe pops up on my screen. It is not a huge problem, but I would
like to find a 'trick' to avoid this echo of calling gnuplot.exe

Does anybody have an idea?

Regards,

Harrald Luijerink

Chandidas,

There are many Ch compatible IDEs linked at
http://www.softintegration.com/products/thirdparty/. Many are freely
available including Crimson Editor. An example of using Crimson Editor
for editting and running C/Ch/C++ programs in Ch is available at
http://iel.ucdavis.edu/projects/mechanism/quickreturn/example.html.

I have received email from Chandidas Deshpande:

  email: chumbhode at yahoo dot co dot in

He teaches in India.  I have encouraged him to join
this group.  A copy of our email exchange is below:

Chandidas

I recommend you join the ch yahoo group

   http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ch_language/

where you will have other experts that can help answer your
question.  Another advantage of joining the group is
that other people will be able to receive this adivce.

Ch for windows comes wit the 'vim' editor that is very
convenient for creating ch programs.

You can also use notepad but the file must be a plain text
file and not a rich text file.

I am the group moderator for this Ch language group.
Here is place where you can learn about the latest
Ch activities and ask questions about how to use,
install, or get Ch.

Ch is available from SoftIntegration (see Links)
and the Ch Standard Edition is available for free.

One of the key advantages to Ch is that it is
interpreted (avoiding lenghty compile and link
phases) but it can be compiled if needed.  Thus
Ch allows for rapid program development and fast
prototyping.

Ch can also be used as a unix shell just like popular
shells such as bash, ksh and csh.

Check out the Links for pointers to documentation.

Happy programming everyone.
