   eigenvalue
   A compiler front-end for Eiffel 3 by Olaf Langmack (langmack@inf.fu-berlin.de) and Burghardt Groeber. It was generated automatically with the Karlsruhe toolbox for compiler construction according to the most recent public language definition. The parser derives an easy-to-use abstract syntax tree, supports elementary error recovery and provides a...
