I think that a C++ CORBA implementation is a big deal. In addition a corba implemenation is not very useful without a minimal set of CORBA services.
Yes, it's a big deal. I've been working on this for a *very* long time on my own.
Are you mapping idl files to C++ using a generator?
Yes, I have an IDL compiler.
Do you use the standard C++ mapping, or a mapping using more generic C++ techniques?
It's the standard mapping for now, but the underlying engine could be used underneath a new experimental mapping.
Could you present your current implementation, OS, middleware, ...
Runs on UNIX (Solaris), Linux and Windows NT or later.
Could you present a little bit your project, contents, architecture, ...
Here's the basics of what I've got: 1. An IDL compiler, currently mostly written in Perl, but I've been thinking about rewriting it using Wave and Spirit. 2. An ORB library to link with. This includes a pretty much complete implementation of CORBA 2.6, including the C++ binding, GIOP/IIOP implementation, valuetypes and abstract interfaces, the Dynamic Invocation and Skeleton interfaces, and almost all of the CORBA messaging specification (async and polling invocations and the policy framework). I have a partial implementation of portable interceptors. 3. Naming service and a simplistic implementation launching service.
Do you have everything you need already in Boost?
With ASIO and the newer Thread library, I think I have everything I need for the ORB library. I have been using ACE up till now. (I actually started this project long before the ACE team started TAO.) If I rewrite the IDL compiler in Wave and Spirit, then I won't need Perl anymore either. -- Jon Biggar Floorboard Software jon@floorboard.com jon@biggar.org
