Is it possible to call Singular from C/C++?

As Singular is a C++ program, it is possible.
On the other side, Singular was not designed as library
- it requires its own memory manager (which may interfere with others),
it requires that its initialization is run (which is in main() and not
in seperate routines).
To sum it up: yes, it is possible, but requires quite a lot of work.

Now, after 3 years, have something changed?

It is not Singulars main goal to create a C++ library,
but, yes, it is possible, and some programs use Singular as a C++ library.
Once you have build a stand alone Singular, the Makefile in ./Singular
provides the targets libsingular.a and libsingular.so
which contain all Singular functions. (The problems with coexisting
memory managers have been solved).
