A persistent C++ variant Version 2.3.3 compiler . GNU E is a persistent, object oriented programming language developed as part of the Exodus project. GNU E extends C++ with the notion of persistent dATa, program level dATa objects thAT can be transparently used across multiple executions of a program, or multiple programs, without explicit input and output operATions. GNU E' s form of persistence is based on extensions to the C++ type system to distinguish potentially persistent dATa objects from objects thAT are always memory resident. An object is made persistent either by its declarATion (via a new "persistent" storage class qualifier) or by its method of allocATion (via persistent dynamic allocATion using a special overloading of the new operATor). The underlying object storage system is the Exodus storage manager, which provides concurrency control and recovery in addition to storage for persistent dATa. restriction: Copyleft not all run-time sources are available (yet) requires: release 2.1.1 of the Exodus storage manager E-mail: .
