When I try to compile your code I get the following errors:
main.d(953): Error: function
core.sys.windows.objbase.CoTaskMemAlloc (uint) is not callable

main.d(974): Error: can only slice tuple types, not _error_
coTaskMemAlloc is defined with ULONG in the objbase.d file...
so I have no idea what's going on there.
immutable bufferSize = (funcDesc.cParams + 1) *
(wchar*).sizeof;
auto names = cast(wchar**)CoTaskMemAlloc(bufferSize);
Looks like bufferSize just needs to be cast to uint. Didn't get
that error in DMD.
The other two I also don't know:
params ~= new Parameter(method, (name[0 ..
SysStringLen(name)]).toUTF8(),
If I run it in ldc I get the error
Error: forward reference to inferred return type of function
call 'getParameters'
private static getParameters(MethodImpl method) {
Parameter dummy;
return getParameters(method, dummy, false);
}
It does compile in DMD though.
OK, adding the return type to the signature should fix that. So:
private static Parameter getParameters(MethodImpl method)
When running I get the error
Error loading type library/DLL.
The IDL file is in the same directory
Did you try to pass it an IDL file? No wonder it didn't work -
you pass in the type library instead, which is a binary file such
as a DLL, EXE or TLB file. You can get the file's path from
OleView by highlighting the library on the left (eg Photoshop)
and on the right it will show a tree with the path beside "win32".
