- Short: GNU Small Eiffel (PPC)
- Type: dev/lang
- Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
- Author: various, Andreas R. Kleinert (port)
- Version: 0.82 (16.2.98)
-
- This is a port of the GNU Small Eiffel compiler for Amiga powerUP (TM)
- PPC systems.
-
- Included are ELF binaries and the complete source code - with only small
- changes to the included smakefiles, it may as well be used for
- compiling an 68k version with SAS/C.
-
- NOTE, THAT THE BINARIES ("bin" directory) ARE ARCHIVED IN bin.lha,
- FOR BETTER COMPRESSION !
-
- An interesting feature of the compiler is, that it does not only consists
- of an Eiffel to C compiler, but also includes an Eiffel to Java bytecode
- compiler and various auxiliary tools.
-
- For more and detailed information on the compiler and how to use it,
- you should take a look at the Small Eiffel homepage under
- http://www.loria.fr/SmallEiffel/ where the following information
- has been taken from, too:

-
- What is SmallEiffel?
-
-
- SmallEiffel is The GNU Eiffel Compiler. This is a free Eiffel compiler
- distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
- the Free Software Foundation .
-
- It is intended to be a complete, though small and very fast, free Eiffel
- compiler.
-
- It is available for a very wide range of platforms. In fact, SmallEiffel
- should run on any platform for which an ANSI C - POSIX compiler exists.
-
- The current distribution includes an Eiffel to C compiler, an Eiffel to Java
- bytecode compiler, a documentation tool, a pretty printer and various other
- tools.
-
- SmallEiffel uses an innovative strategy involving whole system analysis which
- allows compilation to be often faster than the incremental compilation of
- traditional compilers. It is the result of a research project of the LORIA, a
- join computer science research center in Nancy, France, involving:
-
- o INRIA: Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique, or
- French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control
- o CNRS: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, or French National
- Center for Scientific Research
- o University Henri Poincaré, Nancy 1 (sciences)
- o University of Nancy 2 (humanities)
- o INPL: Institut National Polytechnique de Lorraine
-
- SmallEiffel has been developed by Dominique Colnet, of the ECOO team.
-
- This project began in 1994, and since the very first public release in
- September 1995, SmallEiffel has been used worldwide by increasingly numerous
- individuals and Universities.
