char
Remarks
The keyword char
identifies a data item that has 8 bits. To the MIDL compiler, a char is
unsigned by default and is synonymous with unsigned char.
In this
version of Microsoft RPC, the character translation tables that convert between
ASCII and EBCDIC are built into the run-time libraries and cannot be changed by
the user.
The char
type is one of the base types of the interface definition language (IDL). The char
type can appear as a type specifier in const declarations, typedef
declarations, general declarations, and function declarators (as a
function-return-type specifier and a parameter-type specifier). For the context
in which type specifiers appear, see IDL.
DCE IDL
compilers do not accept the keyword signed applied to char types.
Therefore, this feature is not available when you use the MIDL compiler /osf
switch.
