0x13283103 NIDL_VARDECLNOSUP

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: Variable declarations are not supported; declaration of %1$s ignored

Explanation: IDL does not support the declaration of variables. The types of data that

can be declared in IDL are; constants, types, and functions. The declaration of

<v>(variable) is not a function and is incorrect.

Action: If intended as a function declaration, correct the declaration so the top-level

declaration is a function. Otherwise, remove the declaration.

0x13283104 NIDL_VOIDOPPTR

Severity: Varies Component: idl

Text: void is valid only in an operation or a context handle pointer declaration

Explanation: The <kw>(void) keyword is only valid as the return value of an operation,

or as part of a <kw>(void *) declaration. Note also that in RPC interfaces, <kw>(void *)

is only valid if the <kw>([context_handle]) attribute is also speciﬁed on the data item.

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

<kw>(void) reference to some valid data type.
