Action: Declare the <kw>(pipe) data type with a <kw>(typedef) so the <kw>(pipe) has a

name associated with it.

0x1328302d NIDL_ANONTYPE

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Declaration of %1$s cannot contain an anonymous type

Explanation: The type speciﬁcation for the parameter, ﬁeld or <kw>(union) arm

<v>(name) contains a data type that is an anonymous <kw>(struct) or <kw>(union).

Since such a type is unique and not compatible with any other type, the generated stubs

cannot generate code to access the type.

Action: Move the <kw>(struct) or <kw>(union) declaration into a <kw>(typedef) and

modify the declaration of <v>(name) to use the newly created type name.

0x1328302e NIDL_ARMREFPTR

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: An arm of a union cannot be or contain a [ref] pointer

Explanation: IDL-generated server stub code must allocate storage for objects pointed to

by <kw>([ref]) pointers. IDL does not allow a <kw>([ref]) pointer within a <kw>(union)

because the valid arm of the <kw>(union), and therefore the object for which storage is

allocated, is not known at compile time.

Action: Change the pointer within the <kw>(union) declaration to a full pointer.

0x1328312c NIDL_ARMUNIQUEPTR

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: An arm of a union cannot be or contain a [unique] pointer

Explanation: IDL-generated server stub code must allocate storage for objects pointed to

by <kw>([unique]) pointers. IDL does not allow a <kw>([unique]) pointer within a

<kw>(union) because the valid arm of the <kw>(union), and therefore the object for

which storage is allocated, is not known at compile time.

Action: Change the pointer within the <kw>(union) declaration to a full pointer.

0x13283158 NIDL_ARRATTRSHR

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Array attribute variable cannot be used for both [cs_char] and non-[cs_char] arrays

Explanation: In a structure or parameter list, any variable which speciﬁes the

<kw>([size_is]) or <kw>([length_is]) for a <kw>([cs_char]) array must not be referenced

in any attribute of a non-<kw>([cs_char]) array.

Action: Use separate structure ﬁelds or operation parameters to specify array attributes

for the non-<kw>([cs_char]) array.
