Chapter 5: Programming DataBlade Module Routines in C

Home Contents Index Master Index New Book

C Programming Task Overview

After you generate code with BladeSmith, complete these general tasks to finish your DataBlade module code:

1. Add code to these source code files to enable your routines to function as you intend:

udr.c. Add functionality for user-defined routines, casts, and aggregates.
opaquename.c. Add functionality for opaque data type support routines, as necessary.

2. Compile and link your source code files using the makefiles generated by BladeSmith.

To avoid merging conflicts when you regenerate your code, add code only in areas marked by TO DO: comments or after the generated code. If you do modify code outside the designated areas, after you regenerate you may have two copies of the routine: the one you modified, and the one BladeSmith generated. Although your changes remain, you must remove the duplicate routine code.
