Middleware standards like CORBA and DDS are being defined using the OMG Interface Definition Language (IDL). Using a so called language mapping the programming and platform neutral IDL is converted to a specific programming language.

Remedy IT has been the major contributor for the IDL to C++11 language mapping. The goal of this mapping has been to deliver an easy to use mapping which offers better integration with standard C++11 types and libraries, prevents user mistakes, and leads to more runtime performance.
