The Eiffel compiler is a core part of EiffelStudio. It relies on a unique Melting Ice Technology supporting both fast incremental recompilation and the generation of thoroughly optimized executables.

"Classic EiffelStudio" generates C as intermediate code. "Eiffel for .NET" generates .NET CIL (Common Intermediate Language, the .NET bytecode).

The compiler's specification is given by the ISO/ECMA standard (see the corresponding subcategory.

This category groups all pages related to the EiffelStudio compiler and the Kernel Library (ELKS), which also has its own subcategory.
