[Ace-users] [tao-users] Making use of TAO IDL compiler

[Johnny Willemsen]

Hi,

There is no special document available. If you make changes to the
generation be aware that you have to redo that with each new TAO release.
Most important advice is not to add your own specific generations which are
not part of the C++ mapping, at that moment you loose interoperability.
