idlac creates several files :
myinterface.ads, myinterface.adb : these files contain
the mapping for user defined types (client and server side).
myinterface-impl.ads, myinterface-impl.adb :
these files are to be filled in by the user. They contain the
implementation of the server. They are generated only if the -i flag
is specified.
myinterface.ads, myinterface.adb : these files
contain the client stubs for the interface.
myinterface-skel.ads, myinterface-skel.adb : these files
contain the server-side skeletons for the interface.
myinterface-helper.ads, myinterface-helper.adb : these
files contain subprograms to marshal data into CORBA Any containers.
myinterface-ir_info.ads, myinterface-ir_info.adb : these
files contain code for registering IDL definitions in the CORBA Interface
Repository. They are generated only if the '-ir' flag is specified.
