Samba 3.5.0: Initial import

File size: 1.3 KB
Line 
1- warn when union instances don't have a discriminant
2
3- true multiple dimension array / strings in arrays support
4
5- compatibility mode for generating MIDL-readable data:
6 - strip out pidl-specific properties
7
8- make bitmap an optional attribute on enum
9- support nested elements
10- support typedefs properly (e.g. allow "typedef void **bla;")
11- make typedefs generate real typedefs
12- improve represent_as(): allow it to be used for arrays and other complex
13 types
14
15- --explain-ndr option that dumps out parse tree ?
16
17- seperate tables for NDR and DCE/RPC
18 - maybe no tables for NDR at all? we only need them for ndrdump
19 and that can use dlsym()
20
21- allow data structures outside of interfaces
22
23- mem_ctx in the interface rather than as struct ndr member.
24
25- real typelibs
26
27- fix [in,out] handling and allocation for samba3:
28 - add inout
29 - make NULL to mean "allocate me"
30 - remove NDR_AUTO_REF_ALLOC flag
31
32- automatic test generator based on IDL pointer types
33
34- support converting structs to tuples in Python rather than objects
35- convert structs with a single mattering member to that member directly, e.g.:
36 struct bar {
37 int size;
38 [size_is(size)] uint32 *array;
39 };
40
41 should be converted to an array of uint32's
42
43- python: fill in size members automatically in some places if the struct isn't being returned
44 (so we don't have to cope with the array growing)
