There are some macros to help out but xpidl wasn't really meant to be a code generator. IMHO, extending the xpidl language to support this would mean putting too much implementing details into what is supposed to be an interface description, not an implementation description. The current trend seems to be in the other direction such as eliminating the %C style includes. There could be (and often are) many different implementations for a given interface. One implementation uses the attribute getter/setter functions to access an actual private data member while in another implementation the values are computed or synthesized from data elsewhere. Good luck, Rick
