creates several files :
myinterface.ads
, myinterface.adb
: these files contain
the mapping for user defined types (client and server side).
myinterface-impl.ads
, myinterface-impl.adb
:
these files are to be filled in by the user. They contain the
implementation of the server. They are generated only if the -i flag
is specified.
myinterface.ads
, myinterface.adb
: these files
contain the client stubs for the interface.
myinterface-skel.ads
, myinterface-skel.adb
: these files
contain the server-side skeletons for the interface.
myinterface-helper.ads
, myinterface-helper.adb
: these
files contain subprograms to marshal data into CORBA Any containers.
myinterface-ir_info.ads
, myinterface-ir_info.adb
: these
files contain code for registering IDL definitions in the CORBA Interface
Repository. They are generated only if the '-ir'
flag is specified.
