// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Introduction
//
// rpcsal.h provides a set of annotations to describe how RPC functions use their
// parameters - the assumptions it makes about them, adn the guarantees it makes 
// upon finishing.  These annotations are similar to those found in specstrings.h,
// but are designed to be used by the MIDL compiler when it generates annotations
// enabled header files.
//
// IDL authors do not need to annotate their functions declarations.  The MIDL compiler
// will interpret the IDL directives and use one of the annotations contained 
// in this header.  This documentation is intended to help those trying to  understand 
// the MIDL-generated header files or those who maintain their own copies of these files.
//
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Differences between rpcsal.h and specstrings.h
// 
// There are a few important differences between the annotations found in rpcsal.h and
// those in specstrings.h:
// 
// 1. [in] parameters are not marked as read-only.  They may be used for scratch space 
// at the server and changes will not affect the client.
// 2. String versions of each macro alleviates the need for a special type definition
//
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Interpreting RPC Annotations
//
// These annotations are interpreted precisely in the same way as those in specstrings.h.  
// Please refer to that header for information related to general usage in annotations. 
//
// To construct an RPC annotation, concatenate the appropriate value from each category
// along with a leading __RPC_.  A typical annotation looks like "__RPC__in_string".
//

//
// Level: Describes the buffer pointer's level of indirection from the parameter or
//          return value 'p'.
//
// <>         : p is the buffer pointer.
// _deref     : *p is the buffer pointer. p must not be NULL.
// _deref_opt : *p may be the buffer pointer. p may be NULL, in which case the rest of
//                the annotation is ignored.
//
// Usage: Describes how the function uses the buffer.
//
// <>     : The buffer is not accessed. If used on the return value or with _deref, the
//            function will provide the buffer, and it will be uninitialized at exit.
//            Otherwise, the caller must provide the buffer. This should only be used
//            for alloc and free functions.
// _in    : The function will only read from the buffer. The caller must provide the
//            buffer and initialize it. Cannot be used with _deref.
// _out   : The function will only write to the buffer. If used on the return value or
//            with _deref, the function will provide the buffer and initialize it.
//            Otherwise, the caller must provide the buffer, and the function will
//            initialize it.
// _inout : The function may freely read from and write to the buffer. The caller must
//            provide the buffer and initialize it. If used with _deref, the buffer may
//            be reallocated by the function.
//
// Size: Describes the total size of the buffer. This may be less than the space actually
//         allocated for the buffer, in which case it describes the accessible amount.
//
// <>      : No buffer size is given. If the type specifies the buffer size (such as
//             with LPSTR and LPWSTR), that amount is used. Otherwise, the buffer is one
//             element long. Must be used with _in, _out, or _inout.
// _ecount : The buffer size is an explicit element count.
// _bcount : The buffer size is an explicit byte count.
//
// Output: Describes how much of the buffer will be initialized by the function. For
//           _inout buffers, this also describes how much is initialized at entry. Omit this
//           category for _in buffers; they must be fully initialized by the caller.
//
// <>    : The type specifies how much is initialized. For instance, a function initializing
//           an LPWSTR must NULL-terminate the string.
// _full : The function initializes the entire buffer.
// _part : The function initializes part of the buffer, and explicitly indicates how much.
//
// Optional: Describes if the buffer itself is optional.
//
// <>   : The pointer to the buffer must not be NULL.
// _opt : The pointer to the buffer might be NULL. It will be checked before being dereferenced.
//
// String: Describes if the buffer is NULL terminated
//
// <>      : The buffer is not assumed to be NULL terminated
// _string : The buffer is assumed to be NULL terminated once it has been initialized
//
// Parameters: Gives explicit counts for the size and length of the buffer.
//
// <>            : There is no explicit count. Use when neither _ecount nor _bcount is used.
// (size)        : Only the buffer's total size is given. Use with _ecount or _bcount but not _part.
// (size,length) : The buffer's total size and initialized length are given. Use with _ecount_part
//                   and _bcount_part.
//
// Notes:
//
// 1. Specifying two buffer annotations on a single parameter results in unspecified behavior
//    (e.g. __RPC__in_bcount(5) __RPC__out_bcount(6)
// 
// 2. The size of the buffer and the amount that has been initialized are separate concepts.  
//    Specify the size using _ecount or _bcount.  Specify the amount that is initialized using 
//    _full, _part, or _string.  As a special case, a single element buffer does not need 
//    _ecount, _bcount, _full, or _part
// 
// 3. The count may be less than the total size of the buffer in which case it describes the 
//    accessible portion. 
// 
// 4. "__RPC__opt" and "__RPC_deref" are not valid annotations.
// 
// 5. The placement of _opt when using _deref is important:
//      __RPC__deref_opt_...      : Input may be NULL
//      __RPC__deref_..._opt      : Output may be NULL
//      __RPC__deref_opt_..._opt  : Both input and output may be NULL
