CoUninitialize doesn't return

Hi,

I'm having a problem in COM EXE.

I create a new worker thread that loops and listens to messages. during shut down I release pointers defined in its scope, and call CoUninitialize.
but it seems to get stuck there. (The function who stops the thread waits until the worker thread is signaled, that happens only after couninitialize, which is the last line in the worker thread)

is there any deadlock associated with it? or I have not released everything? I checked and it seems i have released all.

can you supply me with directions for thought what is wrong there?

Thanks.

Hi all,

in the code below, hToken is an impersonation token which I
duplicate into a primary token in order to use with
CreateProcessAsUser. I ask the new token to have the
DELEGATION level of impersonation but I get error 1346 :
ERROR_BAD_IMPERSONATION_LEVEL. NTLM is running on W2K as
the SSP provider, but it seem that delegation is not supported. Is it possible to have the impersonation level with CLOAKING enabled with NTLM ? does this provide a
one hop machine-cross delegation level (which is sufficient for my server) ? All this is done with a calling from an ASP page, how can i set the impersonation level for the client ?. All this confuse me, thank to bring some light ...;)

if ( !DuplicateTokenEx(
hToken, // handle to token to duplicate
TOKEN_ALL_ACCESS | TOKEN_QUERY |
TOKEN_ASSIGN_PRIMARY | TOKEN_DUPLICATE,
NULL,
SecurityDelegation,
TokenPrimary,
&hDup ) ) {
err = GetLastError();}

Sorry for the duplicate post but the first one stripped off the template args. Look near the bottom of the code snippet. I'm not sure what the code is doing, can someone explain.

template<typename _IIID> class _com_ptr_t {
public:
    typedef _IIID ThisIIID;
    typedef typename _IIID::Interface Interface;
    static const IID& GetIID() throw()
    { 
        return ThisIIID::GetIID(); 
    }

     template<typename _OtherIID> _com_ptr_t(const _com_ptr_t<_OtherIID>& p) throw(_com_error)
        : m_pInterface(NULL)
    {
        HRESULT hr = _QueryInterface(p);

        if (FAILED(hr) && (hr != E_NOINTERFACE)) {
            _com_issue_error(hr);
        }
    }
    template<typename _InterfaceType> _com_ptr_t(_InterfaceType* p) throw(_com_error)
        : m_pInterface(NULL)
    {
        HRESULT hr = _QueryInterface(p);

        if (FAILED(hr) && (hr != E_NOINTERFACE)) {
            _com_issue_error(hr);
        }
    }
    template<> _com_ptr_t(LPSTR str) throw(_com_error)
    {
        new(this) _com_ptr_t(static_cast<LPCSTR> (str), NULL);
    }
    ...
}

That is calling one constructor from another. Since the constructor that takes an LPCSTR is marked explicit, a different constructor was needed that takes an LPSTR. (explicit means that the constructor parameter must exactly match LPCSTR, no implicit conversions (such as adding a const qualification to convert an LPSTR to an LPCSTR) are allowed.)
This totally negates the purpose of having the explicit constructor, but oh well.
The new(this) calls an operator new defined in new.h, which is #include'd at the top of comip.h.

Thanks for the reply Michael. I understand the "explicit" part, but I'm still a little fuzzy on the "new" part. I stepped through the code with the debugger and it looks like this constuctor is instantiating itself using the explicit constructor. Here's what I don't quit get: when "new(this)" is called, "this" already has an address. So is this constructor calling the explicit constructor and replacing itself with the constructed value of the explicit contructor? Or is it casting from this constructor to the explicit constructor? I understand the result, I just don't quite grasp how the code gets there.

The purpose of new() is usually to allocate memory and return a pointer to it, however you can overload new() to do anything. That's what that constructor does, it calls an overloaded new() that just returns the parameter passed to it. Since there is already memory allocated for this, new() returns that address, then C++ calls the constructor.
It is bloody confusing, though. Wink | ;)

CComBSTR objects

1-Apr-02 10:40

I was wondering if it is possible to use STL vectors with CComBSTR?
example:
vector<ccombstr *=""> vComBSTR;
Now how does one allocate new CComBSTR objects into the vector? I'm quessing like so,
vComBSTR.push_back(new CComBSTR("Hello"));
Or do I need to use the SysAllocString instead?
What is a programmer to do.

Thanks in advance.

CAdapt is an ATL class that lets you use CComBSTR and CComPTR/CComQIPtr in STL collections. See CAdapt in MSDN for more.

Thanks for the fast reply. Wink | ;)

How does one declare a CComBSTR pointer in a vactor?
Example:
std::vector<cadapt<ccombstr *=""> >
Does one just uses the new operator? Or do I need to use the SysAllocString function.
Examples:
std::vector<cadapt<ccombstr *=""> > vComBSTR;
vComBSTR.push_back( new CComBSTR("Hello"));
OR
vComBSTR.push_back( SysAllocString("Hello"));

Thanks in advance.

ATL Control Containment problem

31-Mar-02 7:57

I'm trying to build a library similar to the common dialog controls library. It works, mostly. I have a class CHostWindow:

class ATL_NO_VTABLE CHostWindow :
public CComObjectRootEx<CComSingleThreadModel>,
public CComCoClass<CHostWindow, &CLSID_HostWindow>,
public IDispatchImpl<IHostWindow, &IID_IHostWindow, &LIBID_BTS_DLGHELPERLib>,
public CWindowImpl<CHostWindow>

In my Win32 application, I invoke HostWindow, pass to it an interface to the control I want to host, and the window works as you'd expect.

if (SUCCEEDED(Result = iHost.CreateInstance(CLSID_HostWindow)))
{
iHost->Host((PDWORD)&CLSID_DlgFieldProperties, (IUnknown**)&iFieldProps);
iHost->Show(SW_SHOW);
}

This is fine when the control contains basic window elements like pushbuttons and edit boxes but when the composite control contains another control (like the list control in the Resource Editor), the app crashes with an access violation, and according to the stack trace the program is recursively running through the composite control's property list until it runs out of stack space.

I've spent too much time trying to figure this out and now need help! I'm using CAxWindow (memory leak and all) to do the hosting. Can someone explain to me what I might be missing, or point me to some relevant, working, code?

Thanks
Matt

Windows.NET server has a CA module. I assume there is a similar thing in Win2K server. Try the Microsoft website. Remember that your Root certificate will not be recognised on other peoples PCs if you havent registered it with microsoft or the other CA list providers.

Add interface to existing class

29-Mar-02 5:21

Hello guys,

I'm quite new on COM and maybe what I'm asking it's stupid : in VC++ is there an automatic way to add another interface to an existing class which already has one or I have to do it by hand? If so, in which file I have to add it (idl, header file of the class)?
Thank you very much,
Thomas

I want to add three more methods to the class and while the first interface was "published" already I need another interface (hope I'm right with this ; if not please give me an advice).
