TAO_IDL/tao_idl is TAO's Interface Description Language (IDL) compiler. It
is based on Sun Microsystems' OMG IDL Compiler Front End (CFE) version 1.3,
which was released in 1994. It implements most IDL v3 features and, starting
with TAO 2.5.4, some features from IDL v4.
User documentation on using TAO_IDL can be found at ../docs/compiler.html.
For developers either making use of TAO_IDL in a downstream compiler or contributing to TAO_IDL, documentation can be found at docs/README.md.
