The named_type_from_local Function

  • Article

The stubs call the named_type_from_local function. It converts the type that the application uses into the type the stubs transmit across the network. The function is defined as:

void __RPC_USER <named_type>_from_local ( 
    <local_type> __RPC_FAR *, <named_type> __RPC_FAR * __RPC_FAR *);

The first parameter is a pointer to the application data. The second parameter is a pointer to a pointer. The function points it to the transmitted data. The function must allocate memory for the transmitted type.
