The following C++ features are available in Ch:

* Member functionfunctions

* Mixed code and declaration

* The this-> pointer

* Reference type and pass-by-reference

* Function-style type conversion

* ClassClasses

* privatePrivate/public data and functions in classclasses. Ch is compatible with C++ in that by default, members of a class definition are assumed to be private until a 'public' declaration is given

* Static member of class/struct/union

* Const member functions

Line 36:

* Classes inside member functions

* Nested functions with classes

* PassPassing member function to argument of pointer-to-function type of functions

Ch can interface with existing C/C++ libraries and call C/C++ functions from Ch script.<ref>{{cite journal | last = Wilson | first = Matthew | year = 2004 | title = Open-RJ and Ch | url = http://drdobbs.com/184401877?queryText=ChSDK | publisher = Dr. Dobb's Journal}}</ref>

Ch is a C language [[shell (computing)|shell]] and can be used as login shell. Ch has a built-in string type (string_t) for automatic memory allocation and de-allocation. It makes C/C++ easy of scripting. It supports shell aliasaliases, history, piping, etc.<ref>{{cite journal | last = Campbell | first = Matt | year = 2003 | title = Ch, A C/C++ Interpreter -- New possibilities for people who like C and Unix | url = http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.19/19.09/CInterpreter/index.html | publisher = MACTECH, the journal of Apple technology}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Cheng|first=Harry|title=The Ch Language Environment|edition=6.3|year=2010|publisher= SoftIntegration, Inc.|___location=Davis, CA}}</ref>
