0x13283144 NIDL_RUNDOWN_COMMENT

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Rundown routine for [context_handle] type %1$s

Explanation: None

Action: None

0x132830d4 NIDL_SCOPELVLS

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Too many scoping levels

Explanation: The input source is too complicated to be parsed. This occurs because of

deeply nested <kw>(struct) or <kw>(union) declarations.

Action: Simplify the input source by using <kw>(typedef)s to represent the nested

<kw>(struct) or <kw>(union) declarations, and building the more complicated

<kw>(struct) or <kw>(union) declarations by referencing the named types instead of in-

line speciﬁcation of the <kw>(struct) or <kw>(union) declaration.

0x132830d5 NIDL_SIZEARRTYPE

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Size attributes can only be applied to array types

Explanation: Array bound attributes are only valid when used on array types or pointers

used as an array.

Action: Remove the array bound attribute or correct the type to be an array.

0x132830d6 NIDL_SIZECFMTYPE

Severity: Varies Component: idl

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

dynamic

Explanation: A <kw>(size_is) variable is only valid for array dimensions that have an

upper bound that is not ﬁxed.

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

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

array has only one dimension, the <kw>(size_is) clause is invalid, since the array’s upper

data limit is ﬁxed. You may have meant to use a <kw>([length_is]) clause. See the

documentation for the distinctions between conformant and varying arrays and their

attributes.

0x132830d7 NIDL_SIZEINATTR

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: A [size_is] parameter must have the [in] attribute
