The main difference in this new version is the extra data structure generated
between the IDL data structure and the NDR parser:
IDL -> NDR -> { ndr_parser, ndr_header, eparser, etc }
This makes the ndr_parser.pm internals much more sane.
Other changes include:
- Remove unnecessary calls with NDR_BUFFERS (for example, GUID doesn't have any buffers, just scalars) as well as some (unnecessary) nested setting of flags.
- Parse array loops in the C code rather then calling ndr_pull_array(). This allows us to have, for example, arrays of pointers or arrays of pointers to arrays, etc..
- Use if() {} rather then if () goto foo; everywhere
- NDR_IN no longer implies LIBNDR_FLAG_REF_ALLOC
- By default, top level pointers are now "ref" (as is the default in
most other IDL compilers). This can be overridden using the
default_pointer_top() property.
- initial work on new ethereal parser generators by Alan DeKok and me
- pidl now writes errors in the standard format used by compilers, which
is parsable by most editors
- ability to warn about the fact that pidl extension(s) have been used,
useful for making sure IDL files work with other IDL compilers.
oh, and there's probably some other things I can't think of right now..
