Eiffel Visitor Factory Tool

Overview

The Eiffel Visitor Factory Tool is a simple command line application to generate Eiffel visitor patterns based on Eiffel classes found at specified folder locations. It can generate an interface (deferred) and/or stub (effective) Eiffel classes in no time.

Command-line Options

By default the tool will look in the current working directory for Eiffel source files (*.e). If you want to specify alternative locations use the -i switch to specify relative or absolute directory or file paths. If you need to exclude files use the -ex switch to specify what files to exclude.

To exclude a files in the current directory that start with status you would call:

vfact -ex "/status.*\.e$"

You can optionally search all specified directories recursively using the -r switch.

For all other options please read the usage help using the -?
