The idl file is converted into c++ by a complier.





Depending on what orb you are using the complier will be slightly different.





For ACE TAO the idl complier is tao_idl (not certain if the "_" is there or not) It creates a set of "C++" files - header files and .cpp. There is a set for the user and a set for the orb.





There should be a similar file for any orb. Ubuntu appears to use /usr/bin/orbit-idl-2. There are several make files floating around the net.
