Creating an OSI interface
The ODABA Script Interface (OSI) provides a technology for interfacing C++ functions from within OSI functions. The example below shows the OSI interface for GlobalVariable class of the ODABA interface.
In order to call functions via the OSI interface, a library has to be provided exporting all functions to be interfaced.
Writing OSI interfaces is not really intuitive. Hence, a better way is creating OSI interfaces by means of ClassEditor . This requires the following steps:
- Implement a function by one or more implementations (at least return value and parameters have to be defined)
- Add a new implementation called _IF_ to the list of function implementations. This will automatically generate code for the OSI interface including distiction between different implementations by parameter count and type.
- Check the generated code (especially variable definitions) and do necessary corrections.
- Press the CI compile and link button in order to create an OSI interface library for the class. The OSI interface library for a class includes all functions defining an OSI inderface, i.e. having an implentation with name _IF_ .
