Abstract

Sniff is a pragmatic C++ programming environment which has been implemented during the last fifteen months. Sniff is implemented in C++ with the ET++ application framework. It runs on a large number of UNIX workstations under several window management systems such as OSF-Motif, OpenWindows, and Sunview. Sniff is an open environment providing browsing, cross-referencing, design visualization, documentation, and editing support. It delegates compilation and debugging to any C++ compiler and debugger of choice. Sniff has been in internal use at UBS (Union Bank of Switzerland) since August 1991. Since then several developers have applied Sniff in developing non- trivial software systems as well as in evolving Sniff. Public domain distribution off Sniff will commenced in May 1992. The main goal in developing Sniff was to create an efficient portable C++ programming environment which makes it possible to edit and browse large software systems textually and graphically with a high degree of comfort, without wasting huge amounts of RAM or slowing down in an annoying way. A further goal was to achieve applicable results within one person year.
