SmartEiffel was GNU's free and open-source compiler for the programming language Eiffel, provided with associated tools, libraries and classes.
SmartEiffel was developed at the Lorraine Laboratory of Research in Information Technology and its Applications (LORIA), an institute affiliated to the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA), on the campus of Nancy-Université in Lorraine.
In May 2005, after divergences with the working group for the normalization of the Eiffel language, the SmartEiffel project announced that they would not implement the ECMA TC39-TG4 norm.
Therefore, version 2.2 of SmartEiffel marks the debut of a new level of stability and corresponds to what we think of as being the true Eiffel language."
[7] FreeBSD removed SmartEiffel some years later, due to lack interaction from the authors of the code, and the fact that it would not work on some architectures,[8] though with some recommendation that others may take over the challenge of maintenance of the software.
