DCOM paper in lorikeet. This is the result of 1.5 months work (mainly
figuring out how things *really* work) at the end of 2004.
In general:
- Clearer distinction between COM and DCOM. DCOM is now merely
the glue between DCE/RPC+ORPC and COM. COM can also work without
DCOM now. This makes the code a lot clearer.
- Clearer distinction between NDR and DCOM. Before, NDR had a couple of
"if"s to cope with DCOM, which are now gone.
- Use "real" arguments rather then structures for function arguments in
COM, mainly because most of these calls are local so packing/unpacking
data for every call is too much overhead (both speed- and code-wise)
- Support several mechanisms to load class objects:
- from memory (e.g. part of the current executable, registered at start-up)
- from shared object files
- remotely
- Most things are now also named COM rather then DCOM because that's what it
really is. After an object is created, it no longer matters whether it
was created locally or remotely.
There is a very simple example class that contains
both a class factory and a class that implements the IStream interface.
It can be tested (locally only, remotely is broken at the moment)
by running the COM-SIMPLE smbtorture test.
Still to-do:
- Autogenerate parts of the class implementation code (using the coclass definitions in IDL)
- Test server-side
- Implement some of the common classes, add definitions for common interfaces.
The ODL module can convert an ODL structure to an IDL structure so that:
- The COM subsystem can use the ODL structure
- The DCE/RPC subsystem can use the IDL structure
rather then a large table in librpc/gen_ndr/tables.c. This will allow us
to only link in only the required gen_ndr files (speeds up linking quite a
bit, makes binaries smaller).
Each gen_ndr_* file now has a init function that calls the init functions
of the interfaces it contains. I did it this way to keep pidl's code simple,
though it might hurt startup time a bit. I'd be happy to change it if
people like one function better.
This allows us to call 'make eparser_idl', generate the files required
by the ethereal pidl plugin, and put them in the right place. (See
lorikeet/ethereal)

precedence rules
* build a standalone parser. When we come to distributing Samba4 we
can just include idl.pm and other developers won't need Parse::Yapp
installed
* avoid the recursive make in most cases in build_idl.sh
* make far more generated functions static
* get rid of gen_rpc, and include the client calls in ndr_*.c
* added placeholder IDL for a number of intefaces (dcom, wzcsvc, browser etc)
