       iac - PolyORB's IDL-to-Ada compiler

SYNOPSIS

       iac opts file [-cppargs args]

DESCRIPTION

       iac is an IDL-to-Ada compiler, compliant with version 1.2 of the "Ada Language Mapping Specification" produced by the OMG.

       iac accepts the following options:

       -E      Preprocess only.  -k Keep temporary files.

       -p      Produce source on standard output.

       -o DIR  Specify output directory.

       -dm     Generate debug messages when analyzing scopes

       -df     Dump the frontend tree (the IDL tree)

       -cppargs ARGS
	       Pass ARGS to the C++ preprocessor.

       -I dir  Shortcut for -cppargs -I dir.

       -nocpp  Do not preprocess input

       -<lang> Generate code for a supported language

       types   Generate a list of all types present in the IDL file

	-p     Print the list generate

       ada     Generate Ada source code

	-i     Generate implementation template.

	-c     Generate client side code.

	-s     Generate server side code.

	-d     Generate delegation package. (defunct)

	-ir    Generate code for interface repository.(defunct)

	-noir  Don't generate code for interface repository (default).

	-hc    Using perfect minimal hash tables in skeletons and minimize CPU time

	-hm    Using perfect minimal hash tables in skeletons and minimize memory space

	-rs    Use the SII/SSI to handle requests

	-rd    Use the DII/DSI to handle requests (default)

	-da    Dump the Ada tree

	-db    Generate only the package bodies

	-ds    Generate only the package specs

	-dw    Output the withed entities

	-dt    Output tree warnings

	-di    Generate code for imported entities

       idl     Dump parsed IDL file

	-b n   Base to output integer literal As a default (zero) use base from input

	-e     Expand IDL Tree

	-df    Dump IDL Tree (may be used in conjunction with -e to dump the expanded IDL tree)

	-di    Output IDL code of imported entities (may be used in conjunction with -e to output the expanded IDL code)

EXIT STATUS

       iac returns one of the following values upon exit:

       0      Successful completion

       1      Usage error
