Hi
I got following customer report. Any ideas on how to workaround
this problem ?
Alpha VMS v6.2 DEC DCE v1.3b for Alpha VMS
Windows NT 4.0 DEC DCE 1.1b for Windows NT
We are running a DCE server on the Alpha VMS system, and a DCE client
running on the NT system makes RPC calls to the server.
To interface with our byte-aligned ACMS database, we have compiled the
Alpha VMS RPC stubs with byte alignment (#pragma nomember_alignment);
this is not the default for the Alpha.
On the client side, we get the following error message:
***FATAL ERROR***: Unsupported call to rpc_call_recieve()
Using a VAX VMS server built fro exactly the same sources, there is no
error (the default on the VAX is byte alignment).
Thanx
/Marco

You cannot change the alignment of the data structures in the stubs. The stubs pass data structures to the DCE runtime library, if you change the alignment, then the runtime library will not get the proper data. Just don't do it :-). -Jer | |||||
