NAME

omniidl - omniORB idl compiler

SYNOPSIS

omniidl [ options ]* file [file]*

DESCRIPTION

The omniidl command invokes the omniORB idl compiler. It takes CORBA IDL definitions from the input file(s) and produces C++ stubs. For each input file, two files are produced: a header and a stub. Together they provide the basis to implement CORBA objects with interfaces defined in the IDL definitions. By default, these files are named by appending suffix .hh and SK.cc to the base name of the input respectively. These suffixes can be changed by command line options (see below).

If option -a is specified then a third file is generated (with default suffix DynSK.cc ) which contains code for TypeCodes and type Any.

This idl compiler produces stubs that conform to the IDL to C++ language mapping defined by the CORBA specification version 2.0.

The input files are processed by the CPP preprocessor before they are parsed by the compiler.

OPTIONS

-N: Do not run preprocessor
-b<backend>: defines backend to use (e.g., -bcxx = C++ back-end, -bpython = Python stubs)
-nf: Do not warn about unresolved forward declarations
-k: Comments after declarations are kept for the back-ends
-K: Comments before declarations are kept for the back-ends
-C<dir>: Change directory to dir before writing output
-d: Dump the parsed IDL then exit
-p<dir>: Path to omniidl back-ends ($TOP/lib/python).
-V: prints version information and exits
-Wbtp: Produce tie implementation skeletons
-Wbtf: Generate flattened tie implementation skeletons
-Wbh=<suffix>: Specify suffix for generated header files
-Wbs=<suffix>: Specify suffix for generated stub files
-Wba: Generate code for TypeCodes and Any
-WbF: Generate code fragments (for expert only)
-Wbold_prefix: Map C++ reserved words with prefix
-Wbboa: Generate BOA skeletons (_sk_foo). By default, only POA skeletons are generated.
-Wbold: Use pre-CORBA 2.2 mappings for skeleton operations
-Wbd=<suffix>: Changes the DynSK.cc file suffix
-Wbsplice-modules: Splice together multiply opened modules into one
-Wbexample: Generate example implementation code
-Wbkeep_inc_path: Preserve IDL #include path in generated C++ header
-Wbuse_quotes: Uses "" rather than <> in C++ header #includes
