/*
 *  ======== IEventMetaData ========
 *  This interface is used by a HostEvent to retrieve what it needs to decode
 *  the record that it represents.
 *  
 *  The interface provides the following information:
 *    - Object file reader for looking Log_print format strings
 *    - Event id to event name and event message mapping
 *    - Module id to module name mapping
 *    - Target IArg size (for formatting)
 *    - Target record size (to support HostEvent.getRecordSize)
 *  
 *  An interface has been defined here to allow for multiple implementations.
 *  In RTA, the interface is implemented by the xdc.rta.MetaData class which
 *  wraps the RTA XML file. In ROV, the interface is implemented by 
 *  xdc.runtime.Log APIs which reference the ROV recap file. This allows the
 *  HostEvent class to be shared between RTA and any ROV views which deal with
 *  XDC log records.
