Interface Pointers Classes

The following classes manage a given interface pointer:

• CComPtr Performs automatic reference counting.

• CComQIPtr Similar to CComPtr, but also performs automatic querying of interfaces.

• CInterfaceArray Provides methods useful when constructing an array of COM interface pointers.

• CInterfaceList Provides methods useful when constructing a list of COM interface pointers.

• CComGITPtr Provides methods for dealing with interface pointers and the global interface table (GIT).
