ABSTRACT:
A data structure representing an Interface Definition Language ("IDL") source file is disclosed. The data structure is preferably produced during the compilation of the source file and generation of language-specific source code. The data structure includes a variable-sized array of data structures representing entries from the source file in addition to an array of strings containing each line in the source file. Each of the entry data structures contains a fixed part containing information about the name and attributes of the source file entry and a variable part that depends upon the entry's data type. The data structure can be stored in a file or database for run-time access by distributed applications.
