+Code Generation Test
+========================
+
+While the tests in CIAO_ROOT/tests/IDL3 target IDL3 support
+and IDL3-specific code generation in particular, the tests
+in CIAO_ROOT/CIDL target CIDL features and code generated
+from .cidl files. The test in this directory particularly
+stresses the code generation of the CIDL compiler. This
+code includes the executor mapping IDL, the servant code,
+and the executor implementation code. The latter is not
+fully generated of course, it's merely classes (one for
+each component executor, home executor, and facet executor)
+with the spec-defined operations filled in, but with the
+IDL-defined operations and attributes left blank.
+
+The IDL files in this test include most if not all of the
+IDL3 features that might cause a problem in code generation -
+catching operations and attributes for supported interfaces,
+operations and attributes for supported interface base
+classes, operations and attributes for inherited home
+classes, factory and finder operations for homes and those
+inherited from base homes - you get the idea. More stuff
+will be added as we think of it or a problem crops up.The object
+of this test is for all builds to complete successfully -
+there's no execution involved, since every build is a
+library, there's no executable to drive it.
+
+Please see the README file in CIAO_ROOT for info on how
+to set up builds with MPC. The builds in this test depend
+directly on CIAO_Container, CIAO_Servant and CIAO_Stub,
+and indirectly on everything those three depend on. There's
+a list in the above mentioned README file - to build those
+libraries, you'll of course need ACE (ACE_ROOT/ace), TAO
+(ACE_ROOT/TAO/tao) the IDL compiler (3 builds in
+ACE_ROOT/TAO/TAO_IDL) and gperf (ACE_ROOT/apps/gperf/src).
+
+Enjoy!
