13.1.15 Relation to the C PIDL Mapping

All serverless object interfaces and declarations that rely on them have direct analogs in the C mapping. The mapped C++ classes can, but need not, be implemented using representations compatible to those chosen for the C mapping. Differences between the pseudo-object specifications for C-PIDL and C++ PIDL are as follows:

• C++ PIDL calls for removal of representation dependencies through the use of interfaces rather than structs and typedefs.
• C++ PIDL calls for placement of operations on pseudo-objects in their interfaces, including a few cases of redesignated functionality as noted.
• In C++ PIDL, release performs the role of the associated free and delete operations in the C mapping, unless otherwise noted.

Brief descriptions and listings of each pseudo-interface and its C++ mapping are provided in the following sections. Further details, including definitions of types referenced but not defined below, may be found in the relevant sections of this document.
