## Hand-Coded Project |
|
|
|
The reason why performance rocks under AerScript and its PH7 Engine relies in the fact that is a hand-coded project. That is, |
|
|
|
Aer does not use any external tools to generate it's lexical analyzer such as lex or flex, nor does not use LALR(1) parsers such |
|
|
|
as Bison or YACC to generate it's parser. By acting so, the lexer and the parser are thread-safe, full re-entrant, generate |
|
|
|
better error message, takes less space in the source tree and are easier to maintain. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Aer is written in C. It compiles and runs unmodified on any platform including restricted embedded device with a C compiler. |
|
|
|
The PH7 Engine have been extensively tested under Windows and UNIX including Linux and FreeBSD. If you have successfully compiled |
|
|
|
and tested Aer in an exotic environment or a proprietary UNIX, please let us know. |
