Application Development with AccordSTAR Generator
AccordSTAR Generator is a distributed application generator which takes
as its input a
CIDL specification and outputs objects needed to
develop a distributed
application. The object files are results of generated C code
compiled with your cc compiler.
With AccordSTAR Generator the process for developing a distributed
application is reduced to four simple steps as follows:
-
Develop your CIDL Specification, i.e.
your IFC interfaces by writing and testing as
much of your application as a
single process application as possible. It is easier to
to isolate and fix problems if the application is a single process.
-
Generate client stub,
server stub
and the common IPC code
using AccordSTAR Generator.
-
Link
in your object modules with AccordSTAR generated object modules and create
your client and server executables(a.out). The object modules used in
single process application are re-linked
into client and server executables without re-compiling because
re-compiling can introduce bugs.
- Test your
Distributed Application for correct behavior.
Exercise all IFCs
and ensure that over time there are no memory leaks.
Use AccordSTAR Manager
to monitor and manage how your application is performing, and
AccordSTAR License to confirm that correct sets
of IFCs are enabled for each license key you plan to issue.
Most compilers provide a way for linking C modules with
other languages such as Java, C++, FORTRAN, ADA, etc.
You can use AccordSTAR with other languages as long as there is support
provided to link C object modules with your other object modules.
