Title
Interface with Objective-C
One line summary
Made interfacing with Objective-C as easy it is to interface with C
Status
Not started
Description
Eiffel supports a very powerful interface to either C and C++. Mac OS gaining some popularity, Eiffel lacks an easy interface to objective-C that will make it easier to wrap Mac OS libraries such as Cocoa.
Skills needed
Knowledge of Objective-C and C, and how to mix both.
Difficulty
High
Benefits
Students will get to learn the internals of interfacing Eiffel with other languages.
Community will finally be able to build a native handle to Cocoa for EiffelVision and thus have a native version of EiffelStudio for the Mac.
