I admit to know almost nothing about COM objects, but I have been tasked to find out if they can be built from code that uses cygwin1.dll services.
Searching for Cygwin and COM on the web, and in the archives, is difficult for the obvious .com reason. What I think I do know is that C++ COM objects are probably out because of name mangling and vtable issues. I am still unclear about whether the libs that implement COM use msvcrt*.dll. I assume if that is true, then all COM objects are out because of the newlib conflict. Any pointers to C COM object examples or information about using Cygwin based code in them would be *greatly* appreciated.
