QuestionHow to send NULL to a IUnknown** parameter when COM object is surrogate hosted Pin
Per Nilsson2-Sep-10 19:58
Per Nilsson2-Sep-10 19:58 
I'm developing a COM object in a dll. The object takes an IUnknown** parameter.

interface IPasser : IDispatch{ 
  [id(1), helpstring("method Pass")] 
  HRESULT Pass([in]IUnknown* ptr);};


When using it in-process I can send NULL as parameter, but when I instantiate the com object usign a surrogage usign CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER I get an error message 0x800706f4, "A null reference pointer was passed to the stub."


IPasserPtr   obj;
IUnknown*    ptr;hr = obj.CreateInstance (CLSID_Passer, 0, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER);
hr = obj->raw_Pass (0);        // Returns 0x800706f4
hr = obj->raw_Pass (&ptr); // OK

This is only a problem when I use double indirection, not when I use an ordinary IUnknown*.

Can anyone tell me why this is not allowed and how to change the implementation to be able to send a NULL pointer.
