With the IDL and ACF files as input, the MIDL compiler generates up to five C-language source files. By default, the MIDL compiler uses the base filename of the IDL file as part of the generated stub files. When more than six characters are present in the base filename, some file systems may not accept the full stub name. The following conventions are used:
File |
Default portion of base filename |
Example |
|---|---|---|
| IDL file | --- | ABCDEFGH.IDL |
| Header | .H | ABCDEF.H |
| Client stub | _C.C | ABCDEF_C.C |
| Server stub | _S.C | ABCDEF_S.C |
