  GNU E
  
     A persistent C++ variant
  
     Version 2.3.3
  
     compiler
  
     (ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/exodus/E/).
  
     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.
