Actually the problem is midl can't generate the output
for an interface like this:-

void TestFunc([out] int *psize , [out,size_is(*psize)] int **ptr);

looks like, it can't take size_is(....) in the parameter attributes.

Now I wrapped it to something like this and it seems to go through fine.

typedef struct {
int size;
[size_is(size)] int **psize;
}Wrapper;

and the new interface like this

void testfunc([out] int *psize , [out] Wrapper *ptr);

midl /no_robust /Oic test.idl generates the stubs properly.

Am I missing something. Can you point me to the proper documentation in msdn
for these discrepancies with windows 98.

thanks

pass /no_robust and /Oic to the midl compiler.
