: you should experience an almost immediate transition from the time you write or (more commonly) modify software to the time you can execute it.Ĭ code generation : for portability, it is useful to take advantage of C in its proper role, that of a portable assembly language. The " validity constraints" of the language, whose violations are caught as compilation errors, are particularly useful here, playing the role of enforceable design rules.
: compiling techniques for the strongly typed Eiffel language ensure that compilers can catch many errors before it is too late, and generate more efficient code. Security and efficiency of the generated code
#EIFFELSTUDIO MANUAL#
There is never any need, when compiling ISE Eiffel systems, to supply " Make files", "include files", or other manual descriptions of inter-module dependencies. The compiler takes care of the rest, in particular of finding all the classes that must be compiled. " (current directory) since, to simplify things, we've started EiffelStudio from the Tour's own root cluster directory. In fact it only needs these directories for non-precompiled clusters here, since we are using precompiled EiffelBase, the only directory we are required to specify is the one containing the root cluster, denoted simply as " You've seen it from the beginning of this Tour: all the information the compiler has - obtained from an Ace file, as here, or generated automatically by the other options - is the name of the root class and the list of directories holding Eiffel clusters. Any speed issue aside, the most important property of the compilation process is that it is entirely automatic.
