Hi,
I need some help to understand the pointer attributes in IDL.
From http://www.zdv.uni-mainz.de/cms-extern/DUS/progtool/dce31unx/develop/appdev/Appde512.htm, I found an example of full pointer:
[uuid(135e7f00-1682-11ca-bf61-08002b111685),
pointer_default(ptr),
version(1.0)] interface full_pointer
{
typedef long *long_ptr;
void op ([in] long_ptr int_value1);
}
I tried to use MIDL to compile, and it seems the pointer is treated as a ??ref?? pointer. The following is from generated full_pointer_c.c:
/* 28 */ NdrFcShort( 0x148 ), /* Flags: in, base type, simple ref, */
/* 30 */ NdrFcShort( 0x4 ), /* x86 Stack size/offset = 4 */
/* 32 */ 0x8, /* FC_LONG */
Here are my questions:
1. Does that mean MS implementation is not compatible with DCE RPC?
2. Is int_value1 a top level pointer that should be treated as ref pointer? Will C706 4.2.20.3. Pointer Attributes on Parameters apply here?
Thanks,
Luther
