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: .
