Description

RIDL is a Ruby library implementing an OMG IDL parser/compiler frontend with support for pluggable (and stackable) backends.

Synopsis

RIDL provides a framework for implementing compiler/generators for OMG standard IDL definitions. The framework includes:
  • a RACC based parser supplemented with a custom scanner/tokenizer
  • a complete AST class hierarchy for representing parsed IDL specifications
  • a complete Type class hierarchy
  • IDL constants expression support
  • a builtin IDL preprocessor expression parser/evaluator
  • a flexible framework for pluggable (and stackable) backends
  • basic support for backend code re-generation
  • compliant with the latest OMG IDL standard.

Remedy IT has developed multiple backends for RIDL. These include one for R2CORBA (generating Ruby code) which is 100% open source, and TAOX11 (generating C++11 code). When you want to know more about how Remedy IT can assist you with developing your own backend for RIDL contact .
