What is SmartEiffel?

(SmartEiffel was formerly named SmallEiffel.)

SmartEiffel The GNU Eiffel compiler is the fastest and the slimmest multi-platform Eiffel compiler on Earth! It is also completely FREE!

SmartEiffel The GNU Eiffel Compiler is a free open-source Eiffel compiler and a set of tools for Eiffel software production, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation.

SmartEiffel is available for a very wide range of platforms. In fact, SmartEiffel should run on any platform for which an ANSI C - POSIX compiler or a standard JVM exists.

The current distribution includes an Eiffel to C compiler, an Eiffel to Java byte-code compiler, an Eiffel code debugger, a documentation tool, a pretty printer and various other tools, as well as a very large library of general purpose Eiffel classes . Of course, the source code for all this is provided.

Guaranteed premium support aimed at corporations can be purchased, while free support for individuals is available from the SmartEiffel mailing-list.

Research

Amongst other things, SmartEiffel features 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 lab, a join computer science research centre in Nancy, France, involving:

  • INRIA: Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique, or French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control
  • CNRS: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, or French National Centre for Scientific Research
  • University Henri Poincaré, Nancy 1
  • University of Nancy 2
  • INPL: Institut National Polytechnique de Lorraine

SmartEiffel has been developed by Dominique Colnet and the SmartEiffel group.

This project began in 1994 under the name "SmallEiffel", and since the very first public release in September 1995, the project has been used worldwide by increasingly numerous Individuals, Universities and Corporations.
