Description:
|
20 tools that can be used to construct specialized
programming environments.
The Scorpion Project was started by Prof. Richard
Snodgrass as an outgrowth of the SoftLab Project (which pro-
duced the IDL Toolkit) that he started when he was at the
University of North Carolina. The Scorpion Project is
directed by him at the University of Arizona and by Karen
Shannon at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Description:
|
OMG's (Object Management Group) CORBA 1.1 (Common
Object Request Broker Architecture) specification
provides the standard interface definition between
OMG-compliant objects. IDL (Interface Definition
Language) is the base mechanism for object
interaction. The SunSoft OMG IDL CFE (Compiler Front
End) provides a complete framework for building CORBA
1.1-compliant preprocessors for OMG IDL. To use
SunSoft OMG IDL CFE, you must write a back-end; full
instructions are included. A complete compiler of IDL would
translate IDL into client side and server side routines for
remote communication in the same manner as the currrent Sun
RPCL compiler. The additional degree of freedom that the IDL
compiler front end provides is that it allows integration of
new back ends which can translate IDL to various programming
languages. Several companies including Sunsoft are building
back ends to the CFE which translate IDL into target languages,
e.g. Pascal or C++, in the context of planned CORBA-compliant
products.
