IDL-to-Ada compiler

IDL-to-Ada compiler

[Jef Mangelschots]

Hi,

I'm looking for an IDL-to-Ada compiler.

Can anybody give me some references (preferable URL) ?

If possible a freeware/shareware/evaluable version

Regards
Jef Mangelschots

GNACK 0.2 has just been released. Contact me to receive it.

GNACK (the GNU Ada CORBA Kit) is a project to produce a freely
distributable OMG IDL to Ada95 mapping implementation that uses
the GNU Ada compiler, GNAT.

It is obviously a lot of work to produce a full native Ada95
ORB. So initially the goal is set a little lower: interface
to an existing free CORBA implementation. The first target of
this is ORBit, a C language based ORB (for further info, see
http://www.labs.redhat.com/orbit/)

ORBit was chosen for the ease of interfacing between Ada95 and
C. It is further planned to support interfacing with TAO, a C++
based ORB (see http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO.html),
however the current GNAT version 3.11p still has problems with
the C++ interfacing.

GNACK makes use of IDLtree.pm, an IDL parsing frontend written
in Perl. The Ada source code generator backend is idl2ada.pl.
The interfacing is light weight, i.e. thin Ada wrappers around the
C/C++ produced by the ORB system's IDL compiler.

A small demo program with an Ada client and an Ada server
communicating through ORBit is now running. However, the
development stage is still to be considered alpha.

I am announcing this at an early date to encourage active
participation by others interested in using CORBA with Ada.

At EUROCONTROL we have developed an Ada83 IDL Compiler that
generates Ada83 stubs and skeletons that behind the scenes interface
onto
the IONA C++ ORB.

Contact richard.powell@eurocontrol.fr for more information
