Hmm, interesting. I wonder why this doesn't show up when I google for "ndr
format strings".
It does if you include the quotes...

RPC Update Patch

2004-02-26 Thread Robert Shearman
Hi,

I have uploaded the big stubless RPC patch to a website as it is rather
large (~120k). You can get it here:

http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~csvmc/rpcrt4_3.diff

As you can probably see, a lot of the stuff in this patch is a bit rough
around the edges (lack of copyright notice in some files), but it does
seem to work for a lot of cases.

Rob

P.S. It doesn't work for native OLE32 yet because we need some
undocumented interfaces in RPCSS.

P.P.S. You will need the other two patches I just posted to wine-patches
for this to work properly.

Wow, fantastic! One thing, could you write up some basic info on 
the structure of format strings? I'm just a bit concerned that one
day we'll have to rewrite the typelib marshaller to use this interpreter
and not know how, as this stuff is pretty opaque :)

thanks -mike

They are actually pretty well-documented on MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rpc/rpc/rpc_ndr_format_strings.asp

Looks like a lot of work, Robert; thanks for your efforts.
