Hi Folks,
I'm trying to understand more the technical details of crosswalk and come here
for some insight.
My query is specific to the use of these IDL files, and particularly the
workflow around them as a core developer would view them.
What triggered my query was this:
https://crosswalk-project.org/jira/i#browse/XWALK-889
So, in summary, I see a lot of these IDL files scattered across the code base
and I'm curious to their usage.
1. Are they used to auto-generate stub code, there after one develops against
those stub/skeleton?
a. If so - could someone direct me to the code generator?
2. If one finds the interface has to change, is the associated IDL
changed/patched first, and the ensuing generated code augmented to adjust to
the interface change?
3. Or is such an interface modification done at the code level, and the IDL
refactored to reflect what happens in the core code base?
I guess what I'm trying to figure out is the development flow - is it a
classical IDL-> code generation with round trip taking one back up to the IDL
for each change or is the IDL simply viewed as a pure spec and the incarnation
of same hand-cranked?
If there is any wiki page documenting this that I may have missed I'd
appreciate direction.
Warm Regards
Tom.
