Interface CodeGenerator
is implemented by the backend code
generators. It has several methods to identify what type of generator
it is and what language it serves. The real work is done by the
generateCode(java.util.Set)
method that generates code for a set of
Symbol
objects.
Method Summary | |
void |
generateCode(java.util.Set symbols)
Generate IOR code for each symbol identifier in the set argument. |
java.util.Set |
getLanguages()
Return the set of language names that this generator supports. |
java.lang.String |
getType()
Return the type of generator. |
boolean |
getUserSymbolsOnly()
Return true if and only if this code factory should
only operate on symbols outside the SIDL namespace (i.e., exclude
symbols from the SIDL runtime library). |
Method Detail |
public void generateCode(java.util.Set symbols) throws CodeGenerationException

on the symbol table prior to invoking
this routine.
symbols
- a set of Symbol
instances. The generator is expetected to write code for each symbol.
CodeGenerationException
- this indicates that something failed during the code generation.
It could be anything from an I/O error to a illegal data type.public boolean getUserSymbolsOnly()
true
if and only if this code factory should
only operate on symbols outside the SIDL namespace (i.e., exclude
symbols from the SIDL runtime library). This is typically true
for C and Python where the stubs for the SIDL runtime library
are pregenerated. Generally, this should be true
for
anything other than a stub. Implementors do not need to worry
about the special case of generating the SIDL runtime library
itself.
