Submitted by johnny on Wed, 2013-02-06 10:01

The OMG has published the V1.0 version of the IDL to C++11 Language Mapping on its website. This new language mapping greatly simplifies the development of CORBA, DDS, and CCM applications compared to the already existing IDL to C++ Language Mapping. At the upcoming Component Information Day Johnny Willemsen from Remedy IT will present about this new language mapping and how it can assist with the Unified Component Model initiative.

It was a very long and busy trip to the OMG March 2012 meeting in Reston, VA. After returning home it took me some time to catch up all emails and urgent issues before I was able to sit down and update this blog.

The trip was focused on 3 separate OMG specifications. All took a significant time to prepare and we where anxious to present them during the OMG meeting in person.

OMG September 2011 meeting outcome

Submitted by johnny on Fri, 2011-09-30 16:16

Last week I attended the OMG meeting in Kissimmee. We had a list of interesting topics prepared. Before the Architecture Board we presented the IDL to C++ 1.3 RTF and the Ruby CORBA Language Mapping 1.1 RTF. Both RTFs went smoothly through the process and the AB voted in favor of both RTFs. Both are now on the voting list for the PTC and hopefully they become both official standards soon.

On ORBzone we have an active discussion about the IDL to C++11 mapping at a technical level. But why should you care about this effort as a user? Using this article we would like to take a step back and explain why this effort is important and how it relates to some other activities at the OMG.
