Looking for IDL generator.

[Mike Pennington]

I have an existing set of applications containing hundreds of structures

coded in C++ which I need to translate into IDL. Does anyone know of
any software which can do this job? Shareware or freeware would be
preferable, but any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Mike,

I think Borland provide a tool to reverse engineer your C++ into IDL.
Also, there's a dude at IONA that has a similar tool (I think).
comp.object.corba is where you'll get him.

To do this, you basically need a full C++ compiler front end,
followed by a custom code generator that spits IDL for each
desired data item.

The DMS Software Reengineering Toolkit can be obtained with such a C++ front
end, and is designed to be customized for such tasks like this.
