somFree Compiler and Emitter Framework is a free open source binary compatible reimplementation of IBM SOM Compiler and Emitter Framework. It is tries to be as compatible as possible on API and ABI level.

Changes from original somFree compiler:

• Most of internal structures now also present as in old IBM SOM 2.1 NT Toolkit.
• New emitters:
  • LNK - Open Watcom WLink support.
  • DUMP - displays structures, available to emitter.
  • PAS - Pascal client support.
  • IPAS - Pascal implementation classes support.
• SOM Compiler library now mostly documented.
• SOMLINK style functions for most of SOM Compiler library added.
• Emitters now IBM SOM 2.1 and IBM SOM 3.0 compatible without recompilation.
• somFree Compiler supports IBM SOM 2.1, IBM SOM 3.0, and somFree 1.0 emitters.
• somtShowEntry function outputs more info.
• Undocumented SOMTTypes now documented.
• SOMIPC now supports IDL 4.2 specification.
• CORBA C Language Mapping Specification 1.0 now supported by default instead of SOM C Language mapping.
• Added support of OIDL files

The somFree Compiler is a tool to produce various file formats from Interface Definition Language (IDL) files or Object Interface Definition Language (OIDL) files. somFree Compiler reads IDL or OIDL file and produces an abstract graph tree. Using abstract tree, somFree Compiler generates an object graph tree. After the object graph is ready, somFree Compiler produces an output using template.

The somFree Compiler uses DLL-name based loading of classes libraries (other programs can user another approach, like WPS does. WPS uses an Interface Repository to find corresponding class). Most of the somFree Compiler classes libraries it is implementation of corresponding emitter. Emitters can be created with help of Emitter Framework.

somFree Compiler actually is a client program which uses Emitter Framework classes. somFree Compiler is open source program with an open architecture. The only things that couldn't be easily extended are parser, abstract graph builder and object graph builder. Other things can be shadowed and replaced by our own.

Let's look at somFree Compiler command line syntax to understand how to produce corresponding skeleton code from somFree Compiler template (below is somFree Compiler help screen):

sc [-C:D:E:I:S:VU:cd:hi:m:prsvw] f1 f2 ...
Where:
      -C <n>            - size of comment buffer (default: 200000)
      -D <DEFINE>       - same as -D option for cpp.
      -E <var>=<value>  - set environment variable.
      -I <INCLUDE>      - same as -I option for cpp.
      -S <n>            - size of string buffer (default: 200000)
      -U <UNDEFINE>     - same as -U option for cpp.
      -V                - show version number of compiler.
      -c                - ignore all comments.
      -d <dir>          - output directory for each emitted file.
      -h                - this message.
      -i <file>         - use this file name as supplied.
      -m <name[=value]> - add global modifier.
      -p                - shorthand for -D__PRIVATE__.
      -r                - check releaseorder entries exist (default: FALSE).
      -s <string>       - replace SMEMIT variable with <string>
      -u                - update interface repository.
      -v                - verbose debugging mode (default: FALSE).
      -w                - don't display warnings (default: FALSE).

Modifiers:
      addprefixes : adds `functionprefix' to method names in template file
      [no]addstar : [no]add `*' to C bindings for interface references.
            corba : check the source for CORBA compliance.
              csc : force running of OIDL compiler.
       emitappend : append the emitted files at the end of the existing file.
         noheader : don't add a header to the emitted file.
            noint : don't warn about "int" causing portability problems.
           nolock : don't lock the IR during update.
             nopp : don't run the source through the pre-processor.
             notc : don't use typecodes for emit information.
       nouseshort : don't generate short names for types.
        pp=<path> : specify a local pre-processor to use.
         tcconsts : generate CORBA TypeCode constants.

Note: All command-line modifiers can be set in the environment
by changing them to UPPERCASE and preappending "SM" to them.

Environment Variables:
      SMEMIT=[h;ih;c;xh;xih;xc;def;ir;pdl]
      	: emitters to run (default : h;ih).
      SMINCLUDE=<dir1>[;<dir2>]+
      	: where to search for .idl and .efw files.
      SMKNOWNEXTS=ext[;ext]+
      	: add headers to user written emitters.
      SMTMP=<dir>
      	: directory to hold intermediate files.
      SOMIR=<path>[;<path>]+
      	: list of IRs to search.

Pragmas:
      #pragma somemittypes on          : turn on emission of global types.
      #pragma somemittypes off         : turn off emission of global types.
      #pragma modifier <modifier stm>; : instead of modifier statement.

Now let's explain some command line switches deeper.

First of the most interesting switch is -s. By default somFree Compiler uses SMEMIT environment variable to determine which emitter to use. Look at emit*.dll files for corresponding emitter. Using switch -s you can change default logic and select one-time emitter instead of global emitters. In easy situation you need only one emitter (say, C emitter). In complex situations you need use more emitters (say, C, H, DEF and IH emitters). You can create your own emitter to produces, for example, some sort of documentation and other stuff.

Another interesting switch is -m. Using -m you can set and/or unset so named modifiers. Modifiers allow you to change default behaviour of emitter and compiler. As example, by default compiler adds new methods or modifies existent. You can tell compiler just add new text to end of file. Modifiers can control emitters. addstart and noaddstar controls C emitter to add or not add pointer sign (*) to references of objects.

Switch -u adds or updates Interface Repository with new information about class interface. Interface repository filename controlled by SOMIR environment variable. This thing useful to add info for Object REXX access and other things which uses Interface Repository.

Other switches are like for standard C/C++ preprocessor and not described here.

Now let's play with somFree Compiler. Most often, you need to create interface files for C/C++ client programs. Usually you need to call the SOM Compiler as following:

sc -sdef somobj.idl
sc -sh somobj.idl

In case of C++ you need to call:

sc -sdef somobj.idl
sc -sxh somobj.idl

Of course, not very nice to call somFree Compiler so often. And somFree Compiler provides such functionality:

sc -sdef;h;xh somobj.idl

The above command will do exactly as all recent commands.

The above emitters were designed for IBM toolset. Nowadays, developers also use GCC or Open Watcom Compilers. The problem here is that Watcom Linker doesn't support .DEF files, but has its own .LNK linker files. In case of one or two classes no many problems to convert .DEF files to .LNK files manually. But such approach just ugly for MUCH classes. So, one of good solution is write REXX script for DEF→LNK conversion. But somFree Compilers contains Open Watcom Linker Emitter for such approaches.

Now let's talk about internals of somFree Compiler. somFree Compiler designed in the way as most of C compilers implemented. It is exists of following parts:

• IDL Preprocessor
• IDL Parser
• OIDL Preprocessor
• OIDL Parser
• Emitter Framework

somFree Compiler first calls IDL or OIDL Preprocessor. Output of IDL/OIDL Preprocessor goes to IDL/OIDL Parser. IDL/OIDL Parser creates Object tree from IDL/OIDL source. Object tree, using templates and emitters, stored to file.

As you see, most of the parts can be extended or replaced by its own implementation. For example, we can reuse CPP instead of SPP. Why not? Just support required command-line switches for compatibility. Also, default emitters can be rewritten. For C and C++ emitter it is not so hard. For other, more structured languages, like Pascal, Modula, etc. emitter creation is more hard work, but it is also possible.

Actually, we can extend and rewrite somFree Compiler as we want.

Usage of somFree Compiler will not be problem for most of you. But understanding some details about compiler internals makes life easer.

Latest IBM SOM 3.0 supports CORBA IDL mostly at level of CORBA 1.1. somFree supports CORBA IDL 4.2 with all extensions found in SOM IDL.

• Include Directives (optional)
• Type and Constant Declarations (optional)
• Exception Declarations (optional)
• Interface Declarations (optional)
• Module declaration (optional)

Let's try to define our class interface.

Interface Definition Language (IDL) is the core of System Object Model. All classes have definition of its interface via IDL. With help of somFree Compiler IDL file can be translated to various formats, including various language bindings. For example, to produce C header you can run

sc -s"h" somcls.idl

to produce DEF file you can run

sc -s"def" somcls.idl

somFree Compiler uses emitter to produce corresponding language binding. You can create new bindings emitter using Emitter Framework.

First of all, think about your class. What it must do? Define them in terms of object. Propose attributes and methods of class.

Ok. Imagine, we need class to have access to Java objects. Let's write a class interface in terms of Interface Definition Language.

 #include <somobj.idl>
 
 interface JavaObject : [[SOMObject]]
 {
   implementation
   {
     somDefaultInit: override;
     // Init Java Virtual Machine (if no current) and create Java object
     somDefaultDestruct: override;
     // Destruct Java object and close Java Virtual Machine (if needed)
   }
 }

As you can see, no many problems. Syntax of IDL too closest to C-like languages. First thing you need is to include definitions of parent classes. In our case it is 'SOMObject' definition. Generic Java object doesn't need to have any methods. Only thing 'JavaObject' will do its check for existence of Java Virtual Machine and execution of it if required.

On object destruction checks is Java Virtual Machine still required will be done and it will be destroyed if not required. Also same constructor and destructor will call corresponding constructor and destructor of Java object.

Classic IDL file contains definitions like

 interface <class> : <parent_class>
 {
   attribute <type> <name>
 
   <type> <method>(<parameters>)
 }

[http://www.omg.org OMG] IDL doesn't support methods override. SOM IDL has such feature (and incompatibility with OMG CORBA). This is done via keyword 'implementation'. To solve problems with other IDL compilers such part must be wrapped to #ifdef structure:

 #include <somobj.idl>
 
 interface JavaObject : [[SOMObject]]
 {
 
   #ifdef __SOMIDL__
   implementation
   {
     somDefaultInit: override;
     // Init Java Virtual Machine (if no current) and create Java object
     somDefaultDestruct: override;
     // Destruct Java object and close Java Virtual Machine (if needed)
   }
   #endif
 }

Such approach well known in C-world, but also have some problems. For example, IDL of Document Object Model (DOM) (Yes, [http://www.w3.org W3C] DOM uses same IDL as SOM and CORBA) has attribute 'implementation'. As result, somFree Compiler has some problems with IDL compilation.

As a first step we'll create SOM class interface for java.lang.Object. It can be done with help of javah tool.

javah -jni java.lang.Object

As result you'll have such file:

 /* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated */
 #include <jni.h>
 /* Header for class java_lang_Object */
 
 #ifndef _Included_java_lang_Object
 #define _Included_java_lang_Object
 #ifdef __cplusplus
 extern "C" {
 #endif
 /*
  * Class:     java_lang_Object
  * Method:    hashCode
  * Signature: ()I
  */
 JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_java_lang_Object_hashCode
   (JNIEnv *, jobject);
 
 /*
  * Class:     java_lang_Object
  * Method:    notify
  * Signature: ()V
  */
 JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_java_lang_Object_notify
   (JNIEnv *, jobject);
 
 /*
  * Class:     java_lang_Object
  * Method:    notifyAll
  * Signature: ()V
  */
 JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_java_lang_Object_notifyAll
   (JNIEnv *, jobject);
 
 /*
  * Class:     java_lang_Object
  * Method:    registerNatives
  * Signature: ()V
  */
 JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_java_lang_Object_registerNatives
   (JNIEnv *, jclass);
 
 /*
  * Class:     java_lang_Object
  * Method:    wait
  * Signature: (J)V
  */
 JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_java_lang_Object_wait
   (JNIEnv *, jobject, jlong);
 
 /*
  * Class:     java_lang_Object
  * Method:    getClass
  * Signature: ()Ljava/lang/Class;
  */
 JNIEXPORT jclass JNICALL Java_java_lang_Object_getClass
   (JNIEnv *, jobject);
 
 /*
  * Class:     java_lang_Object
  * Method:    clone
  * Signature: ()Ljava/lang/Object;
  */
 JNIEXPORT jobject JNICALL Java_java_lang_Object_clone
   (JNIEnv *, jobject);
 
 #ifdef __cplusplus
 }
 #endif
 #endif

So, this header can be used to generate actual class interface using this script:

 /* REXX - our best dog */
 
 do while lines('java_lang_Object.h')
   s=linein('java_lang_Object.h');
   parse value s with x 'Header for class' name '*/'
   if name\='' then
   do
     classname=strip(name)
     say '#include <JavaObject.idl>'
     say ''
     say 'interface '||classname||' : JavaObject'
     say '{'
   end
   parse value s with x 'Method:' name
   if name\='' then
   do
     /* skip 3 lines */
     s=linein('java_lang_Object.h');
     s=linein('java_lang_Object.h');
     s=linein('java_lang_Object.h');
     s2=linein('java_lang_Object.h');
     interpret("parse value s with 'JNIEXPORT' type 'JNICALL Java_"||classname||"_' name")
     name=strip(name)
     s2=strip(s2)
     parse value s2 with start 'JNIEnv *, jobject' end
     s2=start||end
     parse value s2 with x ', ' y
     if x='(' then s2='('||y
     say '  '||type||name||' '||s2
   end
 end
 say '}'

As result, you'll have following:

 #include <JavaObject.idl>
 
 interface java_lang_Object : JavaObject
 {
    jint hashCode ();
    void notify ();
    void notifyAll ();
    void registerNatives (JNIEnv *, jclass);
    void wait (jlong);
    jclass getClass ();
    jobject clone ();
 } 

Using such approach you can easily make SOM wrappers for all Java classes. Using Java_JNI_API you can create Java classes and using SOM wrappers you integrate Java code to SOM-based applications. Because SOM API more generic then Java API you can use any available language bindings for development. Also, you can start to extend Java classes by native code with help of SOM engine.

SOM Object Interface Definition Language is a pre-IDL object definition language used before IBM SOM 2. Since IBM SOM 2 uses CORBA IDL as defined in OMG CORBA 1.1. SOM Object Interface Definition Language (OIDL) is a simple definition language and not recommended to use. SOM Compiler support is only for compatibility with old source code. OIDL support implementation mostly based on [2] and various OIDL source files found on the Web. OIDL consist of sections set:

• Include section (optional)
• Class section (required)
• Release order section (optional)
• Parent class section (required)
• Passthru section (optional)
• Metaclass section (optional)
• Data section (optional)
• Methods section (optional)

Include section is optional and contains names of OIDL files with definition of parent class, metaclasses and private interfaces of ancestor classes.

[#include ( <ancestor> | "ancestor" ) ] *
#include ( <parent> | "parent")
[#include ( <metaclass> | "metaclass" ) ]

ancestor is the name of the OIDL file containing the private part of an ancestor class' interface needed in the definition of this class. If ancestor is enclosed in angle brackets (<>), the search for the file will begin in system-specific locations. If parent is enclosed in double quotation marks (""), the search for the file will begin in the local context, then move to the system-specific locations.

parent is the name of the OIDL file containing the parent class of the class for which the Include statement is provided. If parent is enclosed in angle brackets (<>), the search for the file will begin in system-specific locations. If parent is enclosed in double quotation marks (""), the search for the file will begin in the local context, then move to the system-specific locations.

metaclass is the OIDL file containing the metaclass of the class for which the include statement is provided. If metaclass is enclosed in angle brackets (<>), the search for the file will begin in system-specific locations. If metaclass is enclosed in double quotation marks (""), the search for the file will begin in the local context, then move to the system-specific locations.

Global modifiers are specified when the SOM Compiler is invoked, via the “-m” option. For example,

sc -m"foo=bar"  file.idl

specifies to the SOM Compiler and the emitters being run that the global modifier “foo” has the value “bar.”

Values of global modifiers are transient; they last only for the duration of the compile for which they were specified.

If a modifier is specified in the “sc” command with no value, as in

sc -mfoo file.idl

then the result of this method will be non-NULL.

If no such modifier is specified, then the result is NULL.

Older SOM compiler version uses “-a” option which is same as “-m” option.

void somto(in string tmplt);

Outputs a template, <tmplt>, after substitution for any symbols that occur in it. Five substitutions are supported: simple, list, comment, tab, and conditional.

Substitutable items in the template are bracketed with angle brackets. (Backslash can be used to escape an angle bracket.)

Simple substitutions just replace a symbol with its value. If the symbol has no value in this template object then the symbol is replaced error string but no error is raised.

List substitution assumes that the symbol has a value in output template list form. This is a newline separated string of values. The list substitution specification consists of four parts, a prefix, a symbol, a separator, and a list indicator. prefixes and separators can only be composed of blanks, comma, colons, and semi-colons. The list indicator is “…” (three periods). For example, the list substitution specification “<, name, …> has a prefix of ”, “, a symbol of “name” and a separator of ”, “. The prefix will be used whenever there is at least one item in the list and the separator will be used between any two list items. After the first items of a list is placed each additional item is evaluated to see if it would begin after the line length limit (set by _set_somtLineLength), if it would then a new line is begun and the value is placed directly under the first item. Comment substitution assumes that the symbol has a value in output template list form. A comment specification consists of a comment indicator followed by a symbol name. The comment indicator is ”–“. Eg, <-- classComment> is a valid comment substitution specification. The lines of the comment are output according to the current comment style (see <somtCommentStyle>) and aligned with the starting column of the comment specification. Tab substitution is specified by <@dd> where “dd” is a valid positive integer. Blanks will be inserted into the output stream if necessary to position the next character of output at the column indicated by “dd”.

Conditional substitution is specified by putting a question mark, ”?“, in column one of the template line. The line will not be output at all unless at least one valid, non-blank, symbol substitution occurs on the line.

Note: Due design error in IBM SOM 3.0 this method can't be fully replaced. You can do some preprocessing of <templ> and call parent method. This is due direct usage of FILE structure in somto method. This means you can't write to file using standard C file functions because FILE structure is a compiler depended. But you don't know which compiler was used for. Header files contains compiler-independed file functions (somtok*), but no any of this functions, except two ones, exported in SOM DLLs. So, if you want to fully replace this method then you need also replace lot of other methods and functions of Emitter Framework and SOM Compiler library. For IBM SOM 2.1 all seems to be ok, but you must use somtok* functions from SOMC.DLL, not standard C runtime for file operations.

void somtOutputComment(in string comment);

Outputs comment using comment style settings.

This method reads sections from template file and stores them in Symbol table. fp is a value returned by somtOpenSymbolsFile method of SOMTEmitC class.

Note: Due design error in IBM SOM 3.0 this method can't be replaced. This is due unknown structure of FILE type. This means you can't read file using standard C file functions because FILE structure is a compiler depended. But you don't know which compiler was used for.

interface SOMStringTableC : SOMObject

Объектами класса SOMStringTableC являются символьные таблицы, которые отображают строки на строки (ключ-значение, ассоциативные массивы). Любой экземпляр класса может хранить неограниченное число элементов. При увеличении количества строк время поиска строки увеличивается. В отличие от IBM SOM в данной реализации не используются хэш-таблицы.

attribute unsigned long somstTargetCapacity;

Замечание: массив сохраняет ссылки на <key> и <value>, передаваемые в аргументах. Копия значений <key> и <value> не создается. При уничтожении объекта память, занимаемая <key> и <value> освобождается с помощью SOMFree, т.е. память под <key> и <value> должна быть выделена с помощью SOMMalloc и аналогичных функций. Замечание: При замене <value> при имеющемся <key> старое <value> заменаяется, память не освобождается

short somstAssociateCopyKey(in string key, in string value);

Mapping of Entry types to SOMT*EntryC classes:

Due switching from MSVC (IBM SOM 2.1) to VAC (IBM SOM 3.0) some problems was occur:

First problem is a calling convention. All non SOMLINK calls in IBM SOM 2.1 is a _cdecl calls. But under IBM SOM 3.0 all non SOMLINK calls is a Optlink calls. Read some info here: https://github.com/prokushev/SOM-Delphi-Wiki/blob/master/Known%20differences%20between%20SOM%202.1%20and%20SOM%203.0.md Goal of somFree SOM Compiler and Emitter Framework is to provide a possibility to use original IBM SOM emitters as from IBM SOM 2.1 as from IBM SOM 3.0. Another goal is a development of somFree emitters, which can be used on both IBM SOM 2.1 and IBM SOM 3.0 compilers.To achieve above goals somFree provides some solutions: 1. Automatic somc.dll calling convention switching. somFree SOMC.DLL provides automatic switching of IBM SOM 2.1 ABI and IBM SOM 3.0 ABI. Switching occurs on somtload call during loading of emitter. For IBM SOM 3.0 all emitter contains entry point emitSL, so, if loading was success, then somFree handles Optlink calling convention for all non SOMLINK calls. If no such entry (found only emit) then IBM SOM 2.1 ABI used. 2. Support both entry points (emitSL and emit) in emitters. somFree emitters automatically switches to IBM SOM 2.1 ABI on emit call and to IBM SOM 3.0 ABI on emitSL call.
