Has anybody had any experience putting Eiffel in an embedded system such
as a PC card with memory? Is this a reasonable thing to do? Would garbage
collection work OK in one of these types of systems?
On another front, how about mapping Eiffel types to some specific
representation. If I have a packet coming in a network link for example,
I could have a C structure with something like
struct packet {
short type;
short sequence;
char data[50];
}
and I know that the representation directly maps into the C structure.
Is there an equivalent way to do this in Eiffel or is this a reasonable
thing to do?
