I have a simple .IDL file (iface.idl) which describes an IUnknown based interface:
import "unknwn.idl";
[
uuid(80DFDD28-F033-431e-B027-CDD2078FC78A)
]
interface ISunPathCalc : IUnknown {
HRESULT Square([in, out] long * pVal);
HRESULT Cube([in, out] long * pVal);
};
When trying to compile it with midl /header iface.h iface.idl
I'm getting 3 files: iface.h, iface_i.c and iface_p.c. The iface.h file contains a C++ declaration of ISunpathCalc interface:
#if defined(__cplusplus) && !defined(CINTERFACE)
MIDL_INTERFACE("80DFDD28-F033-431e-B027-CDD2078FC78A")
ISunPathCalc : public IUnknown
{
public:
virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE Square(
/* [out][in] */ long *pVal) = 0;
virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE Cube(
/* [out][in] */ long *pVal) = 0;
};
#else /* C style interface */
The remaining larger part of this file contains needless C stuff.
Q: Is there way to tell MIDL to generate only C++ part of header? Is it possible to switch off generation of iface_i.c and iface_p.c files and to force MIDL to generate a C++ definition instead?
UPD1:
I tried to add [local] attribute as specified here:
[
local,
uuid(80DFDD28-F033-431e-B027-CDD2078FC78A)
]
but without any success.
