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.
