The BIDL utility is used to create and use custom C\C++ functions, in library form, callable within ODL projects. For example, to bridge C\C++-based interfaces with ODL. The utility generates code used in the creation of the shared library to handle the hand shake between ODL and your custom code.
The ODL engine loads a new library, generated based on your custom C\C++ function definition file, that correctly maps ODL calls to your custom C\C++ functions.
Usage:
ims.bidl <function definition file>
<template file>
<output file name>
Where <function definition file> is the file generated by the bidl code generator, based on your custom C function library; <template file> is the template file required to generate the code (provided with the e-Biz Impact 5.4 install); and <output file name> is the final library (*.dll) to be compiled.
See the e-Biz Impact ODL Guide, Chapter 8, “Using Shared Libraries,” for more information on generating libraries using the BIDL utility.
