I've just got the ACCOUNT old sample and write some code with the STRING owner's type:

class
ACCOUNT
create
make
feature
balance: INTEGER
owner: STRING
make
    do
        create owner.make_empty
    end
minimum_balance: INTEGER = 1000
open (who: STRING)
    do
        owner := who
    end

The application's code is:

acc: ACCOUNT
make
    do
        create acc.make
        acc.open ("Jill")
        ...

It is compiled and works. After I want to change owner type to a PERSON

owner: PERSON
...
open (who: PERSON)
    do
        owner := who
    end

and I created the PERSON class just as an extension to the STRING class:

class
PERSON
inherit
STRING
end

I believe this can work in every language but seems not in Eiffel. The code fails to compile with VGCC(6) and VEVI errors. Any ideas?

Introduction One of the most commonly use string routines is {READABLE_STRING_GENERAL}.split. This routine is fine for most purposes, but if you wish to process very many or very large strings, this routine is inefficient because it creates a separate string instance for each split part. For

I've actually already written a process handling environment (here) that follows some previous version of this, and it used to work (for some years). I discovered after upgrading to ES 17 that when my function do_system_run_command_synchronous() is called with the path to Notepad on Win 10 as

It is an issue with cygwin tools in general, once in a while on a machine they fail with this error. The solution is to rebase the Cygwin dll. Follow the recommendations here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18502999/git-extensions-win32-error-487-couldnt-reserve-space-for-cygwins-heap-win

I did find this statement from Alexander K in a recent post, but can't find anything called BaseProcess in the my ES 17.05 installation. Quite a bit of work was put into improvement of the simplified version of Process library, BaseProcess, that can be used like "system", but with more flexibili

This page in theory should provide links to all library documentation, For a lot of libraries you end up on a page like this, e.g. for EiffelProcess. This contains the link: - EiffelProcess Library documentation Which just goes back to https://www.eiffel.com/ Firstly, it would be helpful

New blog about how to Build your Eiffel projects with Travis CI /Javier

We have added Eiffel API client generator to the open source project Swagger-codegen. Check the blog to learn more. If anyone wants to collaborate on it to add a server stub generator and enhance the current client generator, please reply to let us know. Thanks. /Javier

Can you provide an example of an API that we might want to talk to and a walk-through of using the Swagger generator to make the connection to the target API? Larry Rix Moonshot Software Rocket science for everyone! Savannah, GA 770-295-9729 On Fri, Jul 21, 2017 at 12:02 PM, javier hector

I was more thinking of compiling Eiffel code to Webassembly code from Eiffels generated C-code. They already have a compiler from C to Webassembly as I understand it. Vänligen Anders Persson BSharp AB Applause Partner Nordic Region The Essential Guide to Mobile and Webb app quality Agile

Yes, this technology is on the radar, and seems to be a good alternative to JavaScript. However, at the moment it is unclear if any users are going to use an Eiffel binding if it is available. Alexander Kogtenkov anders : Hi, As I recall we have had discussions about

Hi, As I recall we have had discussions about compiling Eiffel to Javascipt but this might be an alternative that would be more interesting. http://webassembly.org/ Has anyone investigate Webassembly? Regards Anders

The focus of this release was to support multi-threading. In particular: * 'gec', the Gobo Eiffel Compiler, can now compile Eiffel applications in multi-threaded mode, using the same EiffelThread library as ISE Eiffel. * Made 'gelint' multi-threaded. It now runs almost 3 times faster on a

I'm sure Finnian's facility is more modern than mine, but if you want to look at some code that knows how to run a command on Linunx, Mac, Windows or cygwin, with parameters and callback and return status, there is some code here that uses the process framework. Or get the whole git repo. I use

I once tried to integrate the ISE process library with the Eiffel-loop OS-command library and experienced a serious latency issue. So I reverted back to using {EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT}.system. I reported it as a bug back in 2011 with the synopsis: Running external commands using Unix implementatio
