Tools

SmartEiffel provides many tools besides the compiler.

All those tools use the configuration file.

The tools

Tool box

• se: a façade to all those tools

Compiling

• clean: remove the useless C files
• compile: the compiler (calls compile_to_c)
• compile_to_c: the C compiler core
• compile_to_jvm : the Java compiler

Searching and documenting

• eiffeldoc: generates the whole documentation of a project
• finder: find a class
• pretty: make your source file pretty
• short: generates the interface documentation of a single class

Debugging

• ace_check: check an ACE file
• class_check: check the syntax and the semantics of a source code
• print_jvm_class: the Java bytecode disassembler

Installing

• install: installs the SmartEiffel tools

The system core

If you are interested by how the system works, either by sheer curiosity, either because you want to modify it, here are some explanations.

• syntactic analysis
• sémantic analysis
• the optimizer
• the visitors
• code generation
  • compile_to_c
  • compile_to_jvm
