You can also calculate the element countsize by using the formula VBoost.UDif(VarPtr(elem(1)), VarPtr(elem(0))).

SafeArrays use a rowcolumn-major layout, unlike C++, which uses a columnrow-major layout.

Page 40
SafeArrayCreate takes an array of SafeArrayBound elements in rowcolumn-major (VB) order, but the descriptor itself stores the list in reverse order, which is really columnrow-major (C++) order.

Second, if a reference supports an IID, the same IID must be supported by all references that the object returns.

Page 47
The QI that comes after the function call seems really bizarre because happens after the function returns. If the QI fails, then you will get a type mismatch error in the caller after the function has completed successfully. If the extra QI isn't enough to scare you away from such calls, the amount of code generated in order to handle them should be. In the case of ByVal calls, the AddRef/Release call happens in the callee, so there is no extra IUnknown work to be done by the caller. However, inIn the case of ByRef calls, the entire IUnknown burden falls on the caller, so theextra type checking code is generated everywhere the function is called with a mismatched type.

The native interfaces supported by Class2 are not wrapped, and the _Class1 interface supported by _Class1 is wrapped with a blind delegator that makes it act like a native part of Class12.

Although the IRecordInfo is needed only for marshaling, thereto store a record in a Variant and to marshal an array. There is no way to know if marshaling will be required an array will be marshalled when the array or Variant it is created.

adDelayDontCacheResolved stops the aggregator from keeping the resolved reference, so IDelayCreation_Create iscan be called multiple times for multiple requests for the same IID. No request is made even if a reference for thisthe IID is currently in use.
