Sample of the pdf document :
All language mappings have approximately the same structure. They must define the means of expressing in the language:
• All OMG IDL basic data types
• All OMG IDL constructed data types
• References to constants defined in OMG IDL
• References to objects defined in OMG IDL
• Invocations of operations, including passing parameters and receiving results
• Exceptions, including what happens when an operation raises an exception and how the exception parameters are accessed
• Access to attributes
• Signatures for the operations defined by the ORB, such as the dynamic invocation interface, the object adapters, and so forth.
A complete language mapping will allow a programmer to have access to all ORB functionality in a way that is convenient for the particular programming language. To support source portability, all ORB implementations must support the same mapping for a particular language.
Basic Data Types
A language mapping must define the means of expressing all of the data types defined in “Basic Types” on page 3-23. The ORB defines the range of values supported, but the language mapping defines how a programmer sees those values.
For example, the C mapping might define TRUE as 1 and FALSE as 0, whereas the LISP mapping might define TRUE as T and FALSE as NIL. The mapping must specify the means to construct and operate on these data types in the programming language............
