Implements a new Android IDL (AIDL) parser (still Lark-based and based on old work but now much more complete). After Lark parser, the token tree is walked to build up an AST as usual (similar design as protobuf/grpc, etc). Finally, an AIDL->IFEX model/model translation is implemented. aidl.grammar: Lark LALR grammar for AIDL syntax aidl_lark.py: Lark tree walker → AIDLFile AST aidl_to_ifex.py: AIDLFile AST → IFEX AST entrypoints/aidl_to_ifex.py: CLI entrypoint EDIT: AIDL tests were added later (mostly AI generated) Signed-off-by: Gunnar Andersson <gunnar.andersson@mercedes-benz.com>
ifex_to_aidl.py model-2-model convert ifex to aidl model aidl_generator.py: Jinja2-based generator with templates + tests and entrypoints Signed-off-by: Gunnar Andersson <gunnar.andersson@mercedes-benz.com>

Android IDL support
The Android IDL support (.aidl) was first developed last year but not fully published.
It has been updated and completed to a much higher level now, cleaned up and documented (with comments)
and it is time to put it into the project.
Good sized test suite is also included now (done with AI-generation support)
The converter uses the imperative approach instead of the declarative/table. While not as elegant, it is relatively easy to maintainer. As always, this could evolve later.
The submission is provided under the main project license (LICENSE file in root of project).
The program was tested solely for our own use cases, which might differ from yours.
