[PolyORB] IAC is now the default IDL compiler

Thursday May 8, 2008

IAC is the new default IDL compiler provided by PolyORB. Its command line interface is compatible with the legacy idlac compiler, making it suitable as a drop-in replacement. IAC also offers a number of new features, including optional generation of minimal perfect hash tables for skeletons, generation of static marshallers for faster handling of remote calls, and the ability to pretty-print IDL files. Detailed documentation of these new features can be found in the PolyORB User’s Guide. Note that the legacy idlac compiler is still provided in the PolyORB source tree.
