Generated languages

Encodix generates as a main output ANSI C code (C++ 100% compatible). It can also generate integration code for:

SDL (ITU-T Z.100), for the Telelogic Tau tools;
Visual Basic

Powerful generation

Encodix, after having read a message declaration source, produce several files as output. With the default modules, they generate:

a C "friendly" data structure for each message (where, for example, bit-fields are mapped to integers, avoiding any bit wise operation);
an encoding and a decoding function for each message: reading a char buffer, they fill an instance of the related C "friendly" data structure and vice versa;
a set of ITU-T z100 standard SDL SIGNAL and NEWTYPE declarations, if SDL generation is requested;
a set of environment functions allowing to seamless decode and send messages inside an SDL system (for Telelogic TAU tools);
a lot more...

You need to just declare the messages and use them in your target language (Picture 2).

Generated C code

Encodix C-Output module generates plain ANSI-C that is 100% portable on any platform:

code is designed to work unchanged with any word size;
no specific structure alignment/packing is required since structures are never directly mapped over binary data;
it works correctly with both little and big endian integer management;
dynamic memory allocation is never used;
no static buffers are used (it works on buffers and structures which allocation is done by the caller);
very little stack is used;
code is fully re-entrant and thread-safe;
C library functions are never used, except for memset, which is used to initialise structures and buffers;
code is 100% ANSI-C;
generated code gives no warnings even when compiled with -Wall -pedantic;
runtime libraries are extremely small and given in source format;
royalty-free - code generated by Encodix can be freely redistributed, modified and included in any other software in any form.

Pre-written sources

Dafocus offers some pre-written Encodix sources implementing common standards, like ETSI 24.008, 04.08, 04.60, etc. These sources save further time giving a solid starting point. Contact our sales representative to have an up-to-date list of supported standards.
