midl.exe does not accept function definition
I was able to compile this code with idltojava (without the uuid info), but it gives me syntax errors when I use midl.exe. am I missing something in the beginning of the code?
// here is my code
[ uuid (53D5C100-25F6-11D1-B64C-0
version(1.0),
pointer_default(unique)
]
interface Hello
{
struct A {short field;};
const float pi = 3.14;
void f();
void q(in long s); // it fails in this line
};
//here's the error message
error MIDL2025 : syntax error : expecting a type specification near "in"
// here is my code

try [in] instead of in and see if that works
Try void q([in] long s);
hm.
at least we agree!!

okay, using [in] works when i use midl.exe,
but when I use idltojava it gives me a syntax error in the same line. I thought IDL was suppose to be language-independent?

midl is microsoft specific.
