EiffelBase Library Content

EiffelBase, covered by the open-source IFFEL license, is one of the principal contributions of Eiffel: a library of fundamental structures and algorithms covering the basics of computing, and resulting from a "Linnaean" effort at a general-purpose taxonomy of computing structures. EiffelBase is one of the most carefully designed and extensively used libraries in the object-oriented industry.

The EiffelBase library includes:

• A Kernel that defines the core classes of all Eiffel systems.
• A Data Structures cluster including classes for all the major data structures (sets, lists, tables etc...)
• A Support cluster that provide access to the environment, basic math operations and a few other helper classes.
• A Dynamic External Shared Call mechanism to call functions in DLL at runtime (Windows specific).
