Add option to generate target types according to CAB conventions #75

Open sigiesec opened 6 years ago

sigiesec commented 6 years ago

This in particular means mapping the IDL types as follows:

string -> BTC::Commons::Core::String
sequence<...> -> BTC::Commons::Core::AutoPtr<BTC::Commons::Core::ForwardConstIterable>

Also, the CAB smart pointer types should be used.

On the other hand, it should also be possible to generate a Service API with no dependencies on CAB types at all. This might require restricting the set of IDL features that can be used.
