Language data types

[paul]

Following Jaime's advise and adding data types for IDL via Reference | Language Datatypes menu. I added IDL as a product, then copied the data types from c++.

? is what do the products you add via this form do - can you rev. eng based on a specific "product" specified here?

Hi Paul,

Guess not. The datatypes are only one aspect of a programming language. After defining the datatypes, EA might be able to spot some datatypes, but it doesn't know about any of the constructs and the keywords of the programming language.

If you are just trying to reverse engineer IDL, it might be possible that the syntax of IDL matches that of Java? So you might want to try to import IDL while telling EA that you are importing Java or one of the other languages. If some of the keywords in IDL need to be skipped, define those keywords as macros for the language you've selected.

Greetings,
