May I add some midl generated files into svn? (like we do with flex and bison) Lack of features in widl is a great stopper to ReactOS development. Actually, I can't do anything with event logging api because of widl. I want to inplment some rpcss functionality, but widl stops me from doing this.
I am against committing MIDL generated files to SVN for the following reasons:
1) The use of MIDL might defer improvements to WIDL.
2) We always need to clean-up the MIDL generated files.
3) Some features missing from WIDL require additional support from rpcrt4.dll. Context handles for example require some not-yet-implemented rpcrt4 functions. Just using MIDL instead of WIDL won't fix this issue.
PS: Saveliy, which WIDL features do you need?
