small
The small
keyword designates an 8-bit integer number. The small keyword can be preceded
by either the keyword signed or the keyword unsigned. The int
keyword is optional and can be omitted. To the MIDL compiler, a small integer
is signed by default and is synonymous with signed small int.
The small
integer type is one of the base types of the IDL language. The small
integer type can appear as a type specifier in const declarations, typedef
declarations, general declarations, and function declarators (as a
function-return-type specifier and as a parameter-type specifier). For the
context in which type specifiers appear, see IDL.
The sign of
the small type can be modified by the MIDL compiler switch /char.
To avoid confusion, specify the sign of the integer type with the keywords signed
and unsigned.
