The entire SPL toolchain +(compiler, assembler, virtual machine, etc) only requires about +100k and the additional memory usage by the applications is also +small. One of the more advanced VM features is the capability to +dump the entire VM state to a file and resume later. It is even +possible to resume on another machine with a different architecture. + +SPL has support for loadable modules. The spl package contains +modules for databases (SQLite, Postgres, MySQL), XML (incl. XPATH +and XSLT), Terminal and File IO, Web Application development +(the CGI, WSF and W2T (Web 2.0 Toolkit) modules), SDL, Qt3, OpenGL +and more. + +SPL can optionally be compiled with support for Postgres. + +The SlackBuild script will install Vim syntax highlighting for SPL, +but it still must be activated in the user's .vimrc before it will +activated. See /usr/doc/spl for programming examples and a language +reference. |
