COM: Uninitalizing COM objects 1 2004-01-17 -- Carl Barnes Newsgroups: softvelocity.public.clarion6
MSDN on CoInitilize says the following:
"Typically, the COM library is initialized on a thread only once. Subsequent
calls to CoInitialize or CoInitializeEx on the same thread will succeed, as
long as they do not attempt to change the concurrency model, but will return
S_FALSE. To close the COM library gracefully, each successful call to
CoInitialize or CoInitializeEx, including those that return S_FALSE, must be
balanced by a corresponding call to CoUninitialize."
When I looked an the CComInitter Destruct method it does not appear to call
CoUNinit if S_False was returned for the CoInit.
Also does CoInit really need to be called per thread? MSDN clearly says it
does, but the book "Inside COM" says per Process.
CCOMIniter.Construct procedure
code
self.hr = CoInitialize()
if self.hr = S_FALSE
self.fAlreadyInitialised = true
self.hr = S_OK
end
if self.hr = S_OK
if ~self.fAlreadyInitialised
self.fInitialised = true.
end
CCOMIniter.Destruct procedure
code
if self.fInitialised
if ~self.fAlreadyInitialised
CoUninitialize().
self.fInitialised = false
end
