Action: Fix the warnings you get, or recompile the IDL ﬁle or specify the <kw>(-

no_warn) option.

0x1328309f NIDL_MAYBEOUTPRM

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: A [maybe] operation cannot have [out] parameters or a function result

Explanation: The <kw>([maybe]) attribute speciﬁes that the operation’s caller does not

require and does not receive a response or fault indication. Do not use an <kw>([out])

parameter or a function result in a <kw>([maybe]) operation.

Action: Remove the <kw>([maybe]) attribute from the operation, or remove all

<kw>([out]) parameters from the function and declare its result type as <kw>(void).

0x13283001 NIDL_MESSAGE_VERSION

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: 2074

Explanation: None

Action: None

0x132830a0 NIDL_MINATTREQ

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: The attribute [min_is] is required

Explanation: An array with a lower bound that is not ﬁxed is used as a ﬁeld of a structure

or as a parameter of an operation. You must specify a ﬁeld or parameter that determines

the lower bound of the array at runtime.

Action: Use a <kw>([min_is]) attribute to specify the ﬁeld or parameter that contains the

lower bound.

0x132830a1 NIDL_MINCFMTYPE

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: The attribute [min_is] cannot be applied to dimension %1$lu; lower bound is not

dynamic

Explanation: A <kw>([min_is]) variable is valid only for array dimensions that have a

lower bound that is not ﬁxed.

Action: If the array is multidimensional, you may have speciﬁed the <kw>([min_is])

variable for the wrong dimension. See the documentation for the proper syntax. If the

array has only one dimension, the <kw>([min_is]) clause is invalid, since the array’s

lower bound is ﬁxed. The <kw>([ﬁrst_is]) clause is valid for single dimension arrays.

See the documentation for the distinctions between conformant and varying arrays and

their attributes.
