I looked at http://www.ecere.com/technologies.html But it does not say whether this language is a scripting language or a programming language. Which one is eC?
talking about scripting, i found TCC ( Tiny C compiler) to be of some interest, the concept is to use the lTCC ibrary and give a C text file to be compiled in time (in memory), then external symbol/function could be added, this sounds great for anyone who is looking for embedded C script.... would love to see TCC supported in a futur version of Ecere SDK for embedded scripting.... :P
Thanks Jerome, looking forward to that... if you consider TCC, you'll notice that the script will be compiled in memory, having the benefit of scripting and performances of native code binaries...
TCC does sound like a smart choice. I actually looked at it before and was considering using it, although the current task list is overwhelming to start on scripting at this point.
You can check out our issue tracking system at http://www.ecere.com/mantis/ to get a glimpse of what we're up to :)
You know that i am into scripting now ;) so if you have free time (which i doubt hehehehe) it will be cool if you could add keyword+color to the "syntax highlighting" property so i could customize and colorize my own keywords :)
Good guess about free time ;) What I do want to do is fix up the syntax highlighting in the month to come... It was a really quick and dirty implementation so it's really not much good.
Still struggling with issues (you can check which at www.ecere.com/mantis) to fix for the late release...
What kind of keyword customization would you like?
Checked out your video, really cool stuff :) Glad someone is doing something serious with Ecere :)
Thanks Jerome, well, just to be able to add my own keyword (in addition of those already there) and set the color, that will be awesome.... and your project looks great, coincidence or not, i was looking for some software in the past when i had a project of live TV here, but i gave up because of the lack of accessible hardware and software at that time and the monopole of big lobby here, i really wish great success for your multimedia desktop.
hehe in fact we sort of dropped that project... That was back in 2004. Although my Acovel media player will sort of cross paths with it. We were doing that project with a mix of Ecere and Python, I wrote bindings for it while the SDK was in C. After this project, inspired a bit by Python, I designed eC.
