Global system analysis at work
Résumé
SmallEiffel, a highly successful open-source implementation of Eiffel developed under the direction of Dominique Colnet at LORIA in France, uses a number of particularly original and innovative compilation techniques. In this article Colnet and his colleague Olivier Zendra raise the veil and show how they have taken advantage of global system analysis techniques to achieve a high degree of performance in the SmallEiffel compilation process and the resulting code.
