MIDL problems

[McGragger]

I am getting an exception when I make my new RPC call. I think I may be
going about this IDL all wrong. I would like to pass in an integer
pointer and a character array pointer to the server. I would like the
server to change the character array and then make the integer its
size. The integer changing is working fine. My character array is not.
Here is a stripped sown sample of what I am trying.


typedef long I32;
typedef char * Purl;

IrsI32 H2CurlReq ( [in,out] I32
*ptrUrlLength,
[out,size_is(*ptrUrlLength)] Purl
ptrURL );

Wrong newsgroup. You most likely need to post to a newsgroup with
"microsoft" in its name.

What's an RPC call?

Do you mean a Remote Procedure Call?

What is an IrsI32? What is [in,out]?

*ptrUrlLength,
[out,size_is(*ptrUrlLength)] Purl

What is [out, size_iz etc.?

ptrURL );

Is this supposed to be C++? It doesn't look like it.
