Hi

Has anyone been looking at feasibility of using the flick idl compiler
from Utah University (http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/flick/)?

It optimises the marshalling process so that transfers are between
2 and 17 times faster. There home page clearly states that it is NOT
a drop in replacement for other idl compilers but I wondered if any
of the ideas could be implemented in omniORBs idl compiler. Or if
work could be done with Utah to aid the process of making flick
work with omniORB.

Comments?

regards
