NdrClientCall function

The NdrClientCall function is the client-side entry point for the /Oicf mode stub.

Syntax

CLIENT_CALL_RETURN RPC_VAR_ENTRY NdrClientCall(
  _In_     PMIDL_STUB_DESC pStubDescriptor,
  _In_     PFORMAT_STRING pFormat,
  _Inout_   ...
);

Parameters

pStubDescriptor [in]

Pointer to the MIDL-generated MIDL_STUB_DESC structure that contains information about the description of the remote interface.

pFormat [in]

Pointer to the MIDL-generated procedure format string that describes the method and parameters.

... [in, out]

Pointer to the client-side calling stack.

Return value

Return value of the remote call. The maximum size of a return value is equivalent to the register size of the system. MIDL switches to the /Os mode stub if the return value size is larger than the register size.

Depending on the method definition, this function can throw an exception if there is a network or server failure.

Remarks

The NdrClientCall function is used by the /Oicf /robust client-side stub. The /Oi and /Oic client-side stubs are obsolete as of MIDL version 6.0.359 and should not be used. The NdrClientCall function transmits all [in] data to the remote server, and upon receipt of the response packet, returns the [out] value to the client-side application.
