Talura ASN.1 compiler (TACO)
(demo-version)




Description

The Talura ASN.1 compiler (demo), includes support for parts of the 2002 edition of ASN.1.
The demo do NOT support constraints.
Be aware that the demo-version has a time-lock mechanism in the generated output. Therefore the produced output can only be used for a limited time. You can recompile your ASN.1 modules and a new time-out is generated.

Download

The Talura ASN.1 compiler (demo) can be downloaded for Linux (x86) and Win32.

Beware! It is required that your C-compiler supports ISO-C99!
This is normally not a problem on Linux, but may be a problem on Win32.
If you don't have ISO-C99 support in your Win32 C-compiler, try the Open Source compiler MinGW.

Linux: taco (538562(.gz)/1540944 bytes)
Win32: taco (360376(.zip)/977408 bytes)

Unzip the downloaded file "taco_3.0.5_demo.gz/zip" and give execution rights, if necessary.
Some browsers seems to remove the '.gz/.zip' extension during download, but hasn't run (g)unzip.
If you have such a browser, add the missing '.gz/.zip' extension and run (g)unzip.

Recommended location

/usr/local/bin/taco

Execution

To run the Talura ASN.1 compiler, read the included help:
taco --help


Talura ASN.1 run-time engine (TARE)
(demo-version)




Description

The Talura ASN.1 run-time engine (demo), includes support for encoding, decoding and comparison of ASN.1 type/values.
BER and XER supported.
The demo do NOT support constraints.

Download

The Talura ASN.1 run-time engine (demo) can be downloaded for Linux (x86) and Win32.

Linux: libtare (514522 bytes)
Win32: libtare (197848 bytes)

Recommended location

/usr/local/lib/libtare.a

Header files

(For both Linux and Win32.)

asn1def.h
asn1api.h
asn1codec.h

Recommended location

/usr/local/include/

Application example




ASN.1 module

example.asn

Application (C-code)

application.c

Beware!
In the example, print-format is according to ISO-C99.
On Win32, msvcrt may not recognize 'jd', 'zd' and 'Lf'.

Compilation

Compile ASN.1 module

taco -i example.asn -o example

Compile application

cc application.c example.c -std=c99 -o example_application -lm -ltare

(cc must be ISO-C99 compliant! E.g. gcc 3.0.x, but NOT gcc 2.x)


Megaco (Benchmark example)




ASN.1 module

megaco.asn

Application (C-code)

Performance test file

megaco_test.c

Data display

disp_megaco.c
disp_megaco.h

Beware!
In the example, print-format is according to ISO-C99.
On Win32, msvcrt may not recognize 'jd', 'zd' and 'Lf'.

Compilation

Compile ASN.1 module

taco -i megaco.asn -o megaco -m none

Compile application

cc megaco_test.c megaco.c disp_megaco.c -std=c99 -o megaco -lm -ltare

(cc must be ISO-C99 compliant! E.g. gcc 3.0.x, but NOT gcc 2.x)

Run test

First you have to download the data files ber.tgz into a subdirectory named ber and run tar -xzf ber.tgz.

Now you are ready to make a performance test by giving the following command:
./megaco

Result on 700MHz AMD Athlon:

See other tools benchmarking.

SNMP (Robustness test)




Test-suite from Oulu

A
test-suite for testing SNMP has been made at the University of Oulu, Finland.
We have taken the parts of this test-suite that concerns robustness of BER-decoders and run the tests using our ASN.1 tools.

ASN.1 modules

rfc1155.asn
rfc1157.asn

Application (C-code)

Robustness test file

snmp_test.c

Compilation

Compile ASN.1 modules

taco -i rcf115*.asn -o snmp -m none

Compile application

cc snmp_test.c snmp.c -std=c99 -o snmp -lm -ltare

(cc must be ISO-C99 compliant! E.g. gcc 3.0.x, but NOT gcc 2.x)

Run test

First you have to download the data files
c06-snmpv1-req-enc-r1.jar
c06-snmpv1-trap-enc-r1.jar
into two subdirectory and run unzip.

In each of the subdirectories, you can now run the robustness test giving the following command:
<path to executable>/snmp

If you have comments or questions about the robustness, please contact us.
