The msdia71.dll typelibrary is buggy. The microsoft oleview utility, for
example,
decompiles an idl file which contains these snippets:
[
odl,
uuid(72827A48-D320-4EAF-8436-548ADE47D5E5),
helpstring("IDiaSymbol Interface")
]
interface IDiaSymbol : IUnknown {
...
HRESULT _stdcall get_dataBytes(
[in] unsigned long cbData,
[out] unsigned long* pcbData,
[out] IDiaSymbol data);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...
HRESULT _stdcall get_types(
[in] unsigned long cTypes,
[out] unsigned long* pcTypes,
[out] IDiaSymbol types);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...
HRESULT _stdcall get_typeIds(
[in] unsigned long cTypeIds,
[out] unsigned long* pcTypeIds,
[out] IDiaSymbol typeIds);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...
};
There are also other interfaces in the typelib that have methods with invalid
parameters.
Note that IDiaSymbol is a COM interface; this cannot appear as parameter in a
COM
method (only pointers to interfaces are allowed). Of course, the MS idl
compiler
also refuses to compile such code.
What can you do? There are several options:
- fix the generated Python code manually: replace the parameter declarations
by valid ones
- try to compile a tlb yourself from the dia2.idl file that is also provided (I
tried this
but the compiler did not find a cvconst.h file that is imported by this idl).
