Error Messages and Status Codes

Explanation: An octal integer contains a digit that is not valid. Integer constants with a

leading zero are interpreted as octal values. Only the digits 0 through 7 are valid in octal

value.

Action: If the integer is not intended to be speciﬁed in octal, remove the leading zeros.

Otherwise correct the value to contain only octal digits.

0x13283085 NIDL_INVOKECPP

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Could not invoke the C preprocessor

Explanation: The IDL compiler is unable to invoke the C preprocessor to preprocess the

IDL ﬁle before compiling it.

Action: If you do not need the C preprocessor, you can use a command line option to

prevent the IDL compiler from calling it. If you speciﬁed the C preprocessor to invoke

with a command line option, check to make sure you gave the correct ﬁle speciﬁcation. If

you do not specify a C preprocessor, the IDL compiler looks in a default directory for it.

The C preprocessor may not be installed in the expected directory.

0x13283086 NIDL_INVOOLPRM

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: The attribute [out_of_line] is not allowed on parameters

Explanation: IDL does not allow the <kw>([out_of_line]) attribute on parameters.

Action: Apply the <kw>([out_of_line]) attribute to the type deﬁnition rather than the

parameter. If you do not want all instances of the type <kw>([out_of_line]), deﬁne two

separate types, one of which has the <kw>([out_of_line]) attribute.

0x13283087 NIDL_INVOPTION

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Command option -%1$s %2$s is not valid

Explanation: The <v>(option-value) speciﬁed is not valid for the option with which it is

used.

Action: See the documentation for the correct command line syntax.

0x13283088 NIDL_INVPARAMS

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Invalid parameters on command line:

Explanation: There are extra parameters on the command line.

Action: You may have attempted to use a value on a option that does not take a value, or

attempted to compile more than one interface at once. See the documentation for the

proper command line syntax.
