It is a precompiler of embedded SQL to C++ and Java
(http://uesqlc.dedalo-ing.com/), so the suffixes are .uesql.cc and
.uesql.java, so the result suffixes are .cc and .java.
This is a typical piece of text I have to include in every 'Makefile.am':
%.cc : %.uesql.cc $(UESQL_GENERATED_FILES)
$(UESQLC) $< --output=$@ \
--cdml-path=$(UESQL_CDML_PATH) \
--main-file \
--language=c++ \
--target=$(UESQL_TARGET) \
$(UESQLFLAGS)
By the way, not so long ago I send a request for enhancement in the Intel C++
for Linux, to add support to AUTOCONF/LIBTOOL. The request was moved to the
next version of the ICC, I hope that this will be the release 7.0.
Greets.
