10.4 Generated Type Naming Principles

Go To Mapping from FX Logical Information Structures to IDL and Generated Types

Generated type names should derive from the governed IDL structures, depending on the selected Phase 0 generation tool and language binding.

Generated types should remain traceable to:

• the source IDL structure;
• the source IDL file;
• the generation tool;
• the generated output location;
• the generation timestamp or generation context;
• the applicable regeneration rule; and
• the FX logical information structure represented by the source IDL structure.

Generated files must identify whether developers may edit them. By default, developers must not edit generated files by hand. Manual changes belong in hand-authored wrapper modules, helper modules, adapter modules, or other approved source files defined by the Developer Handbook.

Generated types realize IDL structures for the selected implementation language. They do not redefine the IDL structure or the FX logical information structure.
