Text: Parameter name %1$s referenced in ACF operation %2$s is not deﬁned

Explanation: Any parameter referenced within an operation declaration in an Attribute

Conﬁguration File (ACF) must be deﬁned in the corresponding operation deﬁnition in the

IDL ﬁle.

Action: Check for typographical errors in either ﬁle.

0x1328300e NIDL_PROCESSACF

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Processing attribute conﬁguration ﬁle %1$s

Explanation: None

Action: None

0x132830c7 NIDL_PTRATTRHAN

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: The attribute [ptr] is invalid on a binding handle parameter

Explanation: The ﬁrst parameter in an operation is a <kw>(handle) parameter, either of

type <kw>(handle_t) or a type with the <kw>([handle]) attribute. It cannot have the

<kw>([ptr]) attribute, since it cannot be <kw>(NULL).

Action: Remove the <kw>([ptr]) attribute from the parameter.

0x132830c8 NIDL_PTRATTRPTR

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: The attribute [ptr] is valid only for pointer types or array parameter types

Explanation: The <kw>([ptr]) attribute modiﬁes the default behavior of any pointer type

or an array parameter data type. It is not valid on other data types. Note that a

<kw>(void *) object is not considered a pointer.

Action: There may be a missing <kw>(*) in your declaration. If not, remove the

<kw>([ptr]) attribute.

0x132830c9 NIDL_PTRBASETYP

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: The base type of a pipe cannot be or contain a pointer

Explanation: IDL does not allow the base type of a <kw>(pipe) to be a pointer or any

data type that contains pointers.

Action: Change your <kw>(pipe) type deﬁnition so the base type of the <kw>(pipe) is

not a pointer and does not contain any pointers.
