I'm getting a error MIDL2272 in line 24 when compiling the following IDL file with VS2015:
error MIDL2272: (async) interface must derive from another (async) interface : [ Interface 'IVDAAA' ]
If I comment out the interface AAA block or swap the interface CCC block before interface AAA it works. (Forward declarations of interfaces do not help here)
Has someone a explanation for this behavior or a solution? (I can't change the order of interfaces because the code is generated.)
I found a post that this is a limitation/bug(?) in MIDL: http://marc.info/?l=ms-dcom&m=103440617319140&w=2
Can someone confirm that MIDL is limited in the level of derived interfaces?
