interface definition language
     
        idl 1. an osf standard for defining rpc stubs.
     
        details?
     
        2. part of an effort by project doe at sunsoft, inc.  to
        integrate distributed object technology into the solaris
        operating system.  idl provides the standard interface
        between objects, and is the base mechanism for object
        interaction.
     
        the object management group's corba 1.1 common object
        request broker architecture specifies the interface between
        objects.  idl interface definition language is the base
        mechanism for object interaction.
     
        the sunsoft omg idl cfe compiler front end version 1.2
        provides a complete framework for building corba 1.1-compliant
        preprocessors for omg idl.  to use it you write a back-end.  a
        complete compiler of idl would translate idl into client
        side and server side routines for remote communication in
        the same manner as sun's current rpcl compiler.  the idl
        compiler front end allows integration of new back ends which
        can translate idl to various programming languages.
     
        several companies including sunsoft are building back ends to
        the cfe which translate idl into target languages,
        e.g. pascal or c++, in the context of planned
        corba-compliant products.  idl requires c++ 2.1.
     
        not to be confused with any of the other idls.
