I'm trying to get information about implementation techniques in Eiffel for object-oriented language features. Have there been any papers published on the subject? Are there any reports sitting around at e.g. ISE that someone could send me? Is there any reliable performance data available? What is the Eiffel implementation of dynamic binding? Does Eiffel support generic arithmetic, in the sense that overflows of integers is detected by the implementation and may be handled by user programs by e.g. coercing into arbitrary precision bignums? Can all varieties of numbers be freely mixed in arithmetic expressions? Is this the standard definition of + for numbers? I need this information for the related work chapter of my thesis on the optimizing compiler for Self, so any help would be much appreciated. -- Craig Chambers
