If you need to know if an instance implement certain interface, you can use is 
operator
if anInstance is IInterface1 thenbegin     end;

I would like to pass a CORBA interface-type as parameter and test for equality, 
So, for example, I have

{$mode objfpc}
{$interfaces corba}

type
    IMyInterface = Interface
    
        [  '{34aad6d0-5884-4143-97c2-b6e330305ae3}']

        Function MyFunc : Integer;
    end;

Now I can pass IMyInterface to TObject.GetInterface as the first parameter, 
which is of type TGuid 
in the declaration.

However, if I use the same TGuid parameter type in my own procedure

    procedure TestInterfaceParameter
          ( const theInterface            : TGuid);
        begin
          if IsEqualGUID
          ( theInterface, ITestInterface1)
            then writeln
              ( 'theInterface = ITestInterface1')
        end;

then I run into the problem that IMyInterface is accepted as actual parameter 
of 
TestInterfaceParameter and of IsEqualGUID only if IMyInterface inherits from 
IUnknown (which I 
certainly don't want, as it is reference counted). Strangely, 
TObject.GetInterface does accept 
IMyInterface as a parameter. So where is the difference ? Is there some 
compiler magic involved in 
TObject.GetInterface ?
