  • COM+ Revisited

    A few years back, I wanted to see what you could do if you really used modern C++ with the COM principles. This is what I came up with:

    https://github.com/jbandela/cppcomponents

    * There is no code generation or IDL files

    * Components implement IUnknown

    * You can have Constructors and static functions for C++ classes.

    * You can take std::vector, std::string, std::tuple as parameters and return them (even if you are using different compilers and standard libraries)

    * Cross-platform

  • COM or C++/CLI layer for long-term maintenance?

    You may find https://github.com/jbandela/cppcomponents useful. A portable C++11 library allowing COM components to be created from a C++ library. Note the portable, you can 100% make COM components on POSIX as well.
