If you are planning to write a book based on
SoftIntegration products, you can get
the support from SoftIntegration by joining our book writting program.
Ch is a superset of C with classes in C++,
there are some minor differences among Ch, C, and C++.
For example, Ch have a few more keywords,
such as
complex
in C99
and
class
in C++,
than C90.
Some of the original sample C90 code in the books
may need to be modified slightly in order to run in Ch/C/C++.
We just show the example C/C++ code in the books that have
been tested to work with Ch.

Ch book review exerpts:

"Generally, textbooks on topics such as C programming are evolutionary, not revolutionary. In contrast, Harry Cheng's entry is an innovative textbook and programming environment that defines a new interactive paradigm for learning and using C and C++ that's particularly well suited for scientists and engineers.
In my January 2010 programming course, the students were almost equally split between Mac and PC users. Cheng's software and textbook package let us all focus on developing programs, without concerns about merging computer tools --- that is, compilers and plotting and analysis packages --- on multiple platforms.
...
The bottom line for a post-use review is one question: Would I use the text again? In the case of C for Engineers and Scientists. An Interpretive Approach, the answer is yes.
Students agreed with this assessment; in their post-use survey, when asked whether the book should be used in future course offerings, all students answered "yes."
After using this textbook and the Ch interpreter, I have a new respect for the role of interpreters as an alternative to traditional compilers for introducing computer programming."

Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment
by W. Richard Stevens,
1993 (19th printing, 1999)
Addison Wesley Longman, Reading, MA.
You need to download
these Ch function files
to run sample programs in the book. After you download the file,
install in by the command "gzip -cd unix_ch.tar.gz|tar -xvf -".
Then add the directory for these function files
in the system variable _fpath in
system-wide startup file CHHOME/config/chrc
or individual user's startup file ~/.chrc in a user's home directory.
GTK+ Programming in C
by Syd Logan
2002 Prentice Hall
All GTK+ code examples presented in this book had been tested in Ch on Solaris in June, 2003.
Here is a list of bugs existing in the examples of the book.
<![CDATA[
(1) book/chapter11/packer/packer.c
Ch is powerful in detecting buffer overflow in arrays.
Most C/C++ compilers cannot detect such an error.
Program packer.c contains a buffer overflow bug.
To fix this bug,
change line 26 from
char buf[10];
to
char buf[20];
or use Variable Length Array in C99 as shown at
http://www.softintegration.com/demos/chstandard/c99.html#3
(2) book/chapter11/packer/itemfactory.c
Change line 54 from
static gpointer foo=(gpointer0 0x12345678L;
to
static gpointer foo=(gpointer) 0x12345678L;
(3) book/chapter9/menu/menu.c has a bug.
It needs to be changed from
myMenuItem = (GtkMenuItem *) menu_items =
gtk_check_menu_item_new_with_label (buf);
to
menu_items = gtk_check_menu_item_new_with_label (buf);
myMenuItem = (GtkMenuItem *) menu_items;
(4) book/chapter9/itemfactory2/itemfactory.c
will crash in both compiled C program or run in Ch
when clicking menu inside the window after button
is clicked and hold-on.
