Pointless 'MIDL_INTERFACE' Macro in winapi?
- by nebukadnezzar
After browsing some old code, I noticed that some classes are defined in this manner:
MIDL_INTERFACE("XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX")
Classname: public IUnknown {
/* classmembers ... */
};
However, the macro MIDL_INTERFACE is defined as:
#define MIDL_INTERFACE(x) struct
in C:/MinGW/include/rpcndr.h (somewhere around line 17). The macro itself is rather obviously entirely pointless, so what's the true purpose of this macro?
