Using AccordSTAR Generator

        Using AccordSTAR Generator

In this example add.c is used as a CIDL Specification.


	example% stargen add.c
	stargen add.c
	stargen: add_clnt.o add_serv.o add_xdr.o

AccordSTAR Generator uses your C compiler, cc, to preprocess #include files and to compile C sources generated. The end result is creation of following object files.

Usually AccordSTAR Generator is invoked from a make command to generate the code as well as link with other modules to create executable programs.

The generated client stub(add_clnt.o), server stub(add_serv.o) and IPC code(add_xdr.o) can now be used by client and server processes for exchanging information in a heterogeneous networking environment. The generated code intelligently handles C pointers, nested data structures, arrays, unions, typedefs, etc. It performs arbitrary pointer chasing at runtime, and hence applications generated AccordSTAR Generator can exchange practical data structures such as doubly linked lists, circular lists, tables, trees, etc. between client and server with ease.

Optionally, AccordSTAR Generator can generate applications which are AccordSTAR Application Management and AccordSTAR License ready. Use can then use Java or telnet base UI to to monitor your applications and optimize them as needed dynamically.
