libIDL is a library licensed under the GNU LGPL for creating trees of
|
|
|
|
|
CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) files, which is a
|
|
|
|
|
specification for defining portable interfaces. libIDL was initially
|
|
|
|
|
written for ORBit (the ORB from the GNOME project, and the primary
|
|
|
|
|
means of libIDL distribution). However, the functionality was
|
|
|
|
|
designed to be as reusable and portable as possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is written in C, and the aim is to retain the ability to compile it
|
|
|
|
|
on a system with a standard C compiler. Preprocessed parser files are
|
|
|
|
|
included so you are not forced to rebuild the parser, however an
|
|
|
|
|
effort is made to keep the parser and lexer compatible with standard
|
|
|
|
|
Unix yacc. Currently, flex is required to generate the lexical
|
|
|
|
|
scanner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With libIDL, you can parse an IDL file which will be automatically run
|
|
|
|
|
through the C preprocessor (on systems with one available), and have
|
|
|
|
|
detailed error and warning messages displayed. On a compilation
|
|
|
|
|
without errors, the tree is returned to the custom application.
|
|
|
|
|
libIDL performs compilation phases from lexical analysis to nearly
|
|
|
|
|
full semantic analysis with some optimizations, and will attempt to
|
|
|
|
|
generate meaningful errors and warnings for invalid or deprecated IDL."
