Re: Embedded systems - is Eiffel small enough?

Dear Philipp,

Last time I tried this, with SmartEiffel 1.1, the answer was, "not
without modifications". The run time would allocate memory in large
chunks, which was related to garbage collection somehow. I don't
remember how big the chunks were, but I had at least 64K (16-bit words)
and it ate it so fast the runtime couldn't even start.

I don't know the situation now, but you should ask on the <a
href="http://wwsympa.loria.fr/wwsympa/arc/smarteiffel">SmartEiffel
mailing list</a>. I don't think they read this list anymore.

Eiffel Software markets their IDE to embedded devices, but I doubt this
is a turnkey solution. Now that it is open source, you are welcome to
modify the code to suit your needs. But you can't make money off of the
generated executable unless you pay the license fee.

Best of Luck,
Brian
