#2 remote memory allocation not supported as in DCE

[Manfred Morgner]

The normal, documented way to declare remote meory allocation is:

[in, out] long *pnSizeOut,
[out, size_is(,*pnSizeOut)] char** ppcReceiveData

where pnSizeOut will receive the size of the received data block and ppcReceiveData IS the datablock - remotely allocated by the server.

The FreeDCE-IDL-Compiler does not support this syntax and I found no way to my RMA work. I tried this:

[out, size_is(*pnSizeOut)] char** ppcReceiveData

but this does not work.

Greetings,
Manfred.

Can you give me more details - eg: the error messages or
the idl output files?

I will send you complete information. For the first shot,
you may look at:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-
bin/cvsweb.cgi/rmc/lib/_rmc.idl?rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-
cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=rmc

and chage the [out]-active line in "rmcCallMethode(..)" to:

[out,size_is(,*pnSizeOut)] P_RMC_CHAR *ppcReceiveData

But I will prepair an example for you within the next 24h

Is anyone, responsible for FreeDCE, willing to send m e his
email address? This will it make a lot more easier to send
you the source files for your experiments.

Many thanks,
Manfred.

Can you verify if this is a problem in the earliest release
from SF?
Even better, can you try it with the pre-SF versions
hanging around out there (try Jim Doyles site).
