- warn when union instances don't have a discriminant
- true multiple dimension array / strings in arrays support
- compatibility mode for generating MIDL-readable data:
- strip out pidl-specific properties
- make bitmap an optional attribute on enum
- support nested elements
- support typedefs properly (e.g. allow "typedef void **bla;")
- make typedefs generate real typedefs
- improve represent_as(): allow it to be used for arrays and other complex
types
- --explain-ndr option that dumps out parse tree ?
- seperate tables for NDR and DCE/RPC
- maybe no tables for NDR at all? we only need them for ndrdump
and that can use dlsym()
- allow data structures outside of interfaces
- mem_ctx in the interface rather than as struct ndr member.
- real typelibs
- fix [in,out] handling and allocation for samba3:
- add inout
- make NULL to mean "allocate me"
- remove NDR_AUTO_REF_ALLOC flag
- automatic test generator based on IDL pointer types
- support converting structs to tuples in Python rather than objects
- convert structs with a single mattering member to that member directly, e.g.:
struct bar {
int size;
[size_is(size)] uint32 *array;
};
should be converted to an array of uint32's
- python: fill in size members automatically in some places if the struct isn't being returned
(so we don't have to cope with the array growing)
