2007-10-10r7865: changed pidl to take a "const void *" instead of a "void *" for theAndrew Tridgell1-1/+1
structure in ndr_push_*() and ndr_print_*(). The push and print functions really should not modify the structure. metze, to make this work I had to change your spoolss hand marshaller. Can you please check it is OK? I think that the IN and OUT sides of that function are not ever called on the same structure, so I think that attempt at remembering the value by assigning to r->in._offered was not doing anything anyway, but please correct me if I have misunderstood it. If you really do need to remember something on those structures I'd suggest the ndr_token_store() and ndr_token_retrieve() functions, which are used by pidl for just this sort of thing. (This used to be commit eee528be97fa43ca53bdc5652b4d29a0a2caf563)
2007-10-10r5490: The big (D)COM commit! :-) Contains most of the changes described in theJelmer Vernooij1-0/+323
DCOM paper in lorikeet. This is the result of 1.5 months work (mainly figuring out how things *really* work) at the end of 2004. In general: - Clearer distinction between COM and DCOM. DCOM is now merely the glue between DCE/RPC+ORPC and COM. COM can also work without DCOM now. This makes the code a lot clearer. - Clearer distinction between NDR and DCOM. Before, NDR had a couple of "if"s to cope with DCOM, which are now gone. - Use "real" arguments rather then structures for function arguments in COM, mainly because most of these calls are local so packing/unpacking data for every call is too much overhead (both speed- and code-wise) - Support several mechanisms to load class objects: - from memory (e.g. part of the current executable, registered at start-up) - from shared object files - remotely - Most things are now also named COM rather then DCOM because that's what it really is. After an object is created, it no longer matters whether it was created locally or remotely. There is a very simple example class that contains both a class factory and a class that implements the IStream interface. It can be tested (locally only, remotely is broken at the moment) by running the COM-SIMPLE smbtorture test. Still to-do: - Autogenerate parts of the class implementation code (using the coclass definitions in IDL) - Test server-side - Implement some of the common classes, add definitions for common interfaces. (This used to be commit 71fd3e5c3aac5f0002001ab29d2248e6c6842d6f)
