Xalc
====

Xalc is a hexadecimal calculator for embedded systems programmers, implemented
as a pre-processor for Python expressions, with a console interface based on
IPython.

Features:

- Mixed calculations with hex, decimal, binary and binary prefix literals
- Support for undecorated hex literals.  Ambiguous literals can be forced to hex by either prefixing or suffixing with 'x'.
- Display in hex, decimal, binary (with bit position ruler) and binary prefixes (sizes)
- Simple bit mask construction
- Bit field extraction operator
- From IPython: Support for arbitrary Python expressions (minus the ones that conflict with the pre-processed syntax), command history, access to previous results with _* variables, etc.

The following "screenshot" demonstrates some of the features of Xalc.  The real
program displays the different bases in different colors, if your console
supports that::
