(2) Multiple-level pointers
RPCGEN only recognizes the first level of multiple-level pointers.
Example:
Specification of a server function
int func(int **ptr);
The function takes ptr, a pointer to a pointer to int-type data, as an input.
Definition of the server function
int ret = func([IN PTR] int **ptr);
In this case, RPCGEN creates code to transfer *ptr from the client to the server. *ptr is a pointer
to the target int-type data, but this data (**ptr) will not be transferred.
(3) Function pointer
RPCGEN does not support server functions whose parameters are pointers to functions.
