RPC Example from MSDN

[f1shrman]

I spent some time looking at this today and did not come up with a solution. I tried various MIDL commandline options - had some luck with /app_config Hello.Acf to get the interfaces set - this got rid of the _hello_ServerIfHandle related error - you will have to change the function name to what ever the compiler creates - i.e. _hello_my_p_handle.

I was not able to get rid of the C1189 error, but I did a lot of looking at things........

From the Win32 API:

BOOL DeleteFile()
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero.

So based on this I take that BOOL TRUE is non zero and BOOL FALSE is zero

From MSDN:

When a postfix or prefix ++ operator is applied to a variable of type bool, the variable is set to true. The postfix or prefix -- operator cannot be applied to a variable of this type.

The bool type participates in integral promotions. An r-value of type bool can be converted to an r-value of type int, with false becoming zero and true becoming one. As a distinct type, bool participates in overload resolution.

So based on this I take that bool true can be a non zero value and bool false can be zero. Even though you should probably not use an integer to check for bool true or false - it can be done.

In RpcNdr.h

#if (0x500 <= _WIN32_WINNT)
#define TARGET_IS_NT50_OR_LATER                   1
#else
#define TARGET_IS_NT50_OR_LATER                   0
#endif

On an XP and Win2k box, this fails with fatal error C1189: #error : You need a Windows 2000 or later to run this stub because it uses these features:

If you change RpcNdr.h to match the BOOL or bool definition above.

#if (0x500 <= _WIN32_WINNT)
#define TARGET_IS_NT50_OR_LATER                   0 // 1
#else
#define TARGET_IS_NT50_OR_LATER                   1 // 0
#endif

On the same XP and Win2k box, the C1189 error goes away.

The check in the _c file is

#if !(TARGET_IS_NT50_OR_LATER)

What am I missing?
