OSF DCE Problem Determination Guide

Text: An [out] parameter or operation result cannot contain [unique] pointers

Explanation: Operation results and parameters that are <kw>([out]) only cannot have

<kw>([unique]) pointers. Unique pointers may be <kw>(NULL), but there is no way to

express the <kw>(NULL) value to the server unless the pointer is part of an <kw>([in])

parameter.

Action: Change your type declarations so no types contained in the parameter have the

<kw>([unique]) attribute, or, if the pointer is part of a parameter, add the <kw>([in])

attribute to the parameter.

0x132830bf NIDL_PIPEBASETYP

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: The base type of a pipe cannot be a pipe type

Explanation: A <kw>(pipe) type cannot be used in the deﬁnition of another <kw>(pipe)

type.

Action: Remove the invalid declaration, or change it so the base type of the <kw>(pipe)

is not another <kw>(pipe) type.

0x13283160 NIDL_PIPECTYPE

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: The base type of a pipe cannot be or contain a [%1$s] type

Explanation: The indicated attribute cannot be applied to the base type of a pipe, or a

type used in constructing the base type of a pipe.

Action: Do not use the indicated attribute with pipes.

0x132830c0 NIDL_PIPESTRFLD

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Pipes are not valid as structure ﬁelds

Explanation: Pipes are not allowed as ﬁelds of structures.

Action: Pass a <kw>(pipe) as a separate parameter to an operation, rather than

embedding it as a ﬁeld of a structure.

0x132830c1 NIDL_PIPEUNIMEM

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Pipes are not valid as members of unions

Explanation: Pipes are not allowed as members of <kw>(union)s.

Action: Pass a <kw>(pipe) as a separate parameter to an operation, rather than

embedding it as a member of a <kw>(union).
