IDL
Interface Definition Language
This document specifies the OMG Interface Definition Language (IDL). Historically IDL was designed to specify CORBA interfaces, and then CORBA components, and was embedded in the CORBA documentation. However its expressive power made it very suitable for defining non-CORBA interfaces and data types. Therefore it was used in the DDS specification and extended for that purpose. For those new usages, as well as for future ones, IDL deserves now to be a first-class specification and not just a derivative product from CORBA.
