Free idl software for linux

autotools-idl is a patch for automake and some autoconf macros which add support for IDL and C++ ORBs.
autotools-idl tries to provide full support for compiling IDL files to C++ stubs and skeletons. The autoconf macros provide an unified detection of different C++ ORBs.
The two parts of autotools-idl are called automake-idl and autoconf-orb, respectively.
autotools-idl have been tested for:
- Operating systems: GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin (MacOS X), CygWin (MS Windows)
- ORBs: omniORB 3.x.y, omniORB 4.x.y, MICO, ORBacus, VisiBroker
- GNU make, BSD make, Solaris make
- C++ compilers: GCC, Intel C++ compiler, Sun C++ compiler
autotools-idl are planned to be tested for:
- Operating systems: none
- ORBs: orbitcpp, TAO
autotools-idl does not support C ORBs (e.g. ORBit) and most probably will never do. Java ORBs are even more certainly out of the question.
autotools-idl may be distributed under the terms of the GPL.
Enhancements:
- Non-default linking for Orbix was fixed (e.g. 64-bit under Linux or Solaris).
- Detection of OpenSSL was fixed for certain systems in entirely static linking mode.

idl2c is an IDL compiler to language C mapping.

SYNOPSIS

idl2c [options] spec.idl

OPTIONS

All options are forwarded to C preprocessor, except -h -i -v -x.

With the GNU C Compatible Compiler Processor, useful options are :

-D name
-D name=definition
-I directory
-I-
-nostdinc

Specific options :

-h

Display help.

-i directory

Specify a path for import (only for IDL version 3.0).

-v

Display version.

-x

Enable export (only for IDL version 3.0).

idl2c parses the given input file (IDL) and generates a include file following the language C mapping rules.

idl2c is a Perl OO application what uses the visitor design pattern. The parser is generated by Parse::Yapp.

idl2c needs a cpp executable.

CORBA::IDLtree is a Perl module that builds abstract syntax trees from CORBA IDL.

The main export is sub Parse_File which takes an IDL input file name as the parameter, and returns a reference to an array of references to the root nodes constructed (or 0 if there were syntax errors.)

Parse_File uses two auxiliary data structures:

@include_path - Paths where to look for included IDL files
%defines - Symbol definitions for the preprocessor
(cf. the -D switch on many C compilers)
where -DSYM=VAL is represented as
$defines{SYM} = VAL. -DSYM is represented as
$defines{SYM} = 1.

A further export is the sub Dump_Symbols which takes the return value
of Parse_File as the parameter, and prints the trees constructed to
stdout in IDL syntax.
