Detailed Description

Type description of an interface.

Not all members are always initialized (not yet initialized members being null); there are three levels:

Minimally, only aBase, pBaseTypeDescription, aUik, nBaseTypes, and ppBaseTypes are initialized; aBase.bComplete is false. This only happens when an interface type description is created with typelib_static_mi_interface_type_init or typelib_static_interface_type_init.
At the next level, nMembers, ppMembers, nAllMembers, ppAllMembers are also initialized; aBase.bComplete is still false. This happens when an interface type description is created with typelib_typedescription_newMIInterface or typelib_typedescription_newInterface.
At the final level, pMapMemberIndexToFunctionIndex, nMapFunctionIndexToMemberIndex, and pMapFunctionIndexToMemberIndex are also initialized; aBase.bComplete is true. This happens after a call to typelib_typedescription_complete.
