Gobo Eiffel compiler: alpha version in CVS

Hello,

I'm happy to announce that the Gobo Eiffel compiler is now
able to compile all Eiffel code contained in Gobo CVS. I
wrote the first lines of the doc:

   http://gobo-eiffel.sourceforge.net/gec/index.html

which contains a non-exhaustive list of functionalities
and Eiffel constructs not implemented yet:

   http://gobo-eiffel.sourceforge.net/gec/limitations.html
   http://gobo-eiffel.sourceforge.net/gec/future.html

gec has already been tested on a handful of platforms:

   http://gobo-eiffel.sourceforge.net/gec/platforms.html

At this stage I don't ask you yet to try gec on all possible
Eiffel classes and programs that you can find on your computer
(some missing functionalities need to be implemented in gec
first). But what would be very useful would be that some of
you try to compile the Eiffel code contained in Gobo CVS
on your platform using your back-end C compiler.
Instructions are given at the end of this page:

   http://gobo-eiffel.sourceforge.net/gec/platforms.html

Note that the C files contained in $GOBO/work/bootstrap/
are now generated with gec. Also note that I commented out
the '-O2' C flag for GCC because it was way too slow on
the computers provided by SourceForge's Compile Farm.
Finally, depending on the resources available on your
computer, gec or the back-end C compiler may have trouble
in trying to compile gexslt or some test cases exercising
its code. If this happens you can just comment out the
corresponding line in the build file.

Enjoy.
