Reporting Bugs

If you find a bug or have an idea for an enhancement, please file an issue on GitHub.

Projects

There are lots of interesting projects to work on in DCE/RPC. Here are some ideas:

  • Clean up dce_error_inq_text to use error_status_t and dce_error_string_t parameters.
  • Not all errors are in the message catalogue, e.g. rpc_s_protseq_not_supported is missing. Need to find and catalogue all errors.
  • Fix the IDL compiler so that [in] reference parameters are declared with the const qualifier.
  • Add support for [out,unique] parameters as used in the spoolss protocol.
  • Add launchd (macOS) and systemd (Linux) support to rpcd.

Projects specific to macOS

  • Implement a ncacn_mach transport for local RPC on macOS.
  • Add instant-off support to the RPC runtime.
  • Replace the DCEThreads runtime with libdispatch.
