Text: A [unique] function result is not valid

Explanation: Unlike <kw>([out]) parameters, there is never any preexisting storage in

the caller for pointer-valued function results. The pointer always points to new storage.

This is the capability provided only by full pointers, not by <kw>([unique]) pointers.

Action: Remove the <kw>([unique]) attribute from the type deﬁnition of the data type for

the function result.

0x13283014 NIDL_USAGE

Severity: Varies Component: idl

0x13283101 NIDL_USETRANS

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Obsolete feature encountered; Use translator

Explanation: A feature of NCS Version 1 NIDL was encountered that is not supported in

the IDL compiler. You may be compiling an NCS Version 1 NIDL source ﬁle.

Action: If the input is a NCS Version 1 NIDL source ﬁle, process it with the translator

utility (the <kw>(nidl_to_idl) command) that converts an NCS Version 1 NIDL source

ﬁle into the format expected by the IDL compiler. Then compile the translated source

ﬁle. Otherwise, remove the reference to the obsolete feature.
