Intend C

Hi there guys!

Today I have great news for the Intend C community. The new version 1.0.0 of Intend C is now testing to be released in the next days!

The version 1.0.0 development went really well. So well that I decided to develop more than planned. So, this new release will count with the new features already planned and announced and a few more, including:

• Division of the interpreter into a shared library and a command line tool;
• Safe mode to sandbox the interpreter access to system and file functions;
• New modular design to facilitate the creation of new modules;
• The Intend C parser is now re-entrant, allowing it to be embedded in multi-threaded applications like game engines or graphic applications;
• Strings with quoted \” or \’ are now supported;
• There is a new way of initializing arrays and structures, besides former mkarray or mkstruct. Now you can use:

arr = new array(1, 2, 3, “abc”, “def”, “xyz”);

st = new struct(
    name = “John”,
    age = 20,
    gender = ‘M’
);

• Some of the standard library functions have been taken out to modules, so now Intend C count with these: dict - dictionary data, dyn - dynamic library support, list - list data, math - math float calc, mem - memory management, preg - regular expressions and sys - system calls;
• The main script now can be parsed from a memory string, as well as the includes can be served by a callback function that returns a (FILE *) to a file or a memory stream, to allow Intend C to parse full in-memory scripts;
• And other minor corrections and enhancements.

Hope these are the news you were waiting for and that Intend C can fulfil the community needs.

Stay tuned for the next release!

Cheers
