SmartEiffel was the GNU free Eiffel compiler , provided with associated tools, libraries and classes. GNU has continued to support a free license Eiffel via a new project, LibertyEiffel . The compiler translates Eiffel code either to ANSI C or Java bytecode . Hence it can be used to write programs that run on virtually any platform for which an ANSI C compiler or a Java virtual machine exist.
10-819: SmartEiffel was developed at the Lorraine Laboratory of Research in Information Technology and its Applications (LORIA), an institute affiliated to the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA) , on the campus of Nancy-Université in Lorraine . SmartEiffel has seen wide use in academia. The project was initiated in 1994 by the French researcher Dominique Colnet. The compiler
20-445: Is a French national research institution focusing on computer science and applied mathematics . It was created under the name French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation ( IRIA ) ( French : Institut de recherche en informatique et en automatique ) in 1967 at Rocquencourt near Paris , part of Plan Calcul . Its first site was the historical premises of SHAPE (central command of NATO military forces), which
30-638: Is part of the joint Institut de recherche en informatique et systèmes aléatoires (IRISA) with several other entities. Before December 2007, the three centers of Bordeaux, Lille and Saclay formed a single research center called INRIA Futurs. In October 2010, Inria, with Pierre and Marie Curie University (Now Sorbonne University ) and Paris Diderot University started IRILL , a center for innovation and research initiative for free software. Inria employs 3800 people. Among them are 1300 researchers, 1000 Ph.D. students and 500 postdoctorates. Inria does both theoretical and applied research in computer science. In
40-918: Is still used as Inria's main headquarters. In 1980, IRIA became INRIA. Since 2011, it has been styled Inria . Inria is a Public Scientific and Technical Research Establishment (EPST) under the double supervision of the French Ministry of National Education, Advanced Instruction and Research and the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry . Inria has nine research centers distributed across France (in Bordeaux , Grenoble - Inovallée , Lille , Lyon , Nancy , Paris - Rocquencourt , Rennes , Saclay , and Sophia Antipolis ) and one center abroad in Santiago de Chile , Chile. It also contributes to academic research teams outside of those centers. Inria Rennes
50-669: The US network and allowed NASA researchers access to an astronomical database based in Strasbourg. This was the first international connection to NSFNET and the first time that French networks were connected directly to a network using TCP/IP , the Internet protocol. The Internet in France was limited to research and education for some years to come. Pierre and Marie Curie University Too Many Requests If you report this error to
60-544: The authors of the code, and the fact that it would not work on some architectures, though with some recommendation that others may take over the challenge of maintenance of the software. This free and open-source software article is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . INRIA The National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology ( Inria ) ( French : Institut national de recherche en sciences et technologies du numérique )
70-400: The debut of a new level of stability and corresponds to what we think of as being the true Eiffel language." The statement remains published as a foundation artifact at the wiki of a successor project, LibertyEiffel. The Debian package was removed at around the same time, reported as neglected by its own maintainer. FreeBSD removed SmartEiffel some years later, due to lack interaction from
80-601: The process, it has produced many widely used programs, such as Inria furthermore leads French AI Research, ranking 12th worldwide in 2019, based on accepted publications at the prestigious Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems . During the summer of 1988, the INRIA connected its Sophia-Antipolis unit to the NSFNet via Princeton using a satellite link leased to France Telecom and MCI. The link became operational on 8 August 1988, and allowed INRIA researchers to access
90-576: The working group for the normalization of the Eiffel language, the SmartEiffel project announced that they would not implement the ECMA TC39-TG4 norm. By version 2.2 (2006), the project had reportedly announced via its wiki, "we, the SmartEiffel project, consider that the Eiffel language as we know it today, now contains nearly all desirable features. Therefore, version 2.2 of SmartEiffel marks
100-541: Was then called SmallEiffel , in reference to the Smalltalk language. In 1995, the compiler was able to compile itself for the first time. In 1998, on the occasion of a visit to LORIA by Richard Stallman , the project became part of the GNU Project . In December 2002, the project was renamed SmartEiffel and reached version 1.0. In September 2004, SmartEiffel reached version 2.0. In May 2005, after divergences with
