procedure serialization

Data serialization that uses a MIDL-generated serialization stub to accomplish the encoding and decoding of one or more types with a single procedure call. Procedure serialization is accomplished by applying the [ encode] and [ decode] attributes to a function prototype in the ACF file. See also type serialization.

protocol sequence

proxy stub

MIDL-generated C or C++ language–source code that contains all the functions necessary for a custom OLE interface.
