Introduction:
|
|
=============
|
|
This directory contains the source code of the pidl (Perl IDL)
|
|
compiler for Samba 4.
|
|
|
|
The main sources for pidl are available by Subversion on
|
|
svn+ssh://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_4_0/source/pidl
|
|
|
|
Pidl works by building a parse tree from a .pidl file (a simple
|
|
dump of it's internal parse tree) or a .idl file
|
|
(a file format mostly like the IDL file format midl uses).
|
|
The IDL file parser is in idl.yp (a yacc file converted to
|
|
perl code by yapp)
|
|
|
|
After a parse tree is present, pidl will call one of it's backends
|
|
(which one depends on the options given on the command-line). Here is
|
|
a list of current backends:
|
|
|
|
Standalone installation:
|
|
========================
|
|
Run Makefile.PL to generate the Makefile.
|
|
|
|
Then run "make install" (as root) to install.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Parse::Pidl::Typelist - Utility functions for keeping track of known types and their representation in C
|
|
|
|
Tips for hacking on pidl:
|
|
- Look at the pidl's parse tree by using the --keep option and looking
|
|
at the generated .pidl file.
|
|
- The various backends have a lot in common, if you don't understand how one
|
|
implements something, look at the others
|
|
- See pidl(1) and the documentation on midl
|
|
- See 'info bison' and yapp(1) for information on the file format of idl.yp
