Hi, I am using RefOS to develop a small applicaiton(interprocess comunicaion).I need to edit some c files in RefOS/libs/librefos directory,But comments say that do not edit these files,these files were generated by CIDL.CIDL is a simple C IDL compiler which is made to save the trouble of manually implementing RPC interface stubs to marshal C style arguments and return value. It uses a simple XML-based IDL language. I search on the google，but just got some introduction. So where can I got some useful infomation about CIDL? Can you recommend some books or websites?

Hi Yuxin,
I don't think you need to modify GCC, it is the compiler that you can use to generate required executables. Making changes to it is a massive undertaking.
Instead of trying to reinvent stuff that has already been done, you really should read the Genode documentation and download and read the source code referenced by Norman Feske's suggestions.
From my reading of the Genode documents and source code, I would expect
that you would find a considerable amount of code that you could you re-purpose for your specific requirements.
Cheers, Tyga

Thank you all!
If modifying the tool chain is the easiest way, I want to try it. But I definitely want to avoid creating the tool chain from "bare metal". I still prefer to reuse the existing tool chain like gcc with minimal modification.
Could you give me some guidance how to create a custom tool chain, which part I need to modify? I am not familiar with gcc. So if I have to modify gcc, where can I get more information or documentation?
Thanks a lot!! Yuxin

Hello,
The easiest approach is possibly to create a custom tool chain, and
port
the GCC C++ library that way. I know the people behind Genode did some of this (http://genode.org/download/tool-chain), although I'm not sure how much of the C++ standard library they actually support.
more in-depth information about Genode's tool chain are provided by Section 7.2 of the documentation [1]. In short, the tool chain is a "bare metal" tool chain that does not depend on a C library, yet it still supports C++ (including exceptions and runtime type information).
On Genode, the libc and STL (aka stdcxx) can be used optionally whereas the STL depends on the libc. The libc is based on FreeBSD's libc. The STL is GCC's version. Both libraries are available via Genode's ports mechanism.
That said, as both the libc and stdcxx are shared libraries, they cannot be used on the seL4 version of Genode as of now. Shared libraries don't work on seL4 (at least on x86_32) because the system-call bindings cannot be compiled with -fPIC.
