ComInterface class abstract interface com

Base interface for all COM types that participate in the companion system.

This abstraction enables type-safe COM activation and casting by associating Dart interface types with metadata and construction logic at runtime.

Each COM interface type is paired with a ComCompanion, which provides:

  • The interface IID
  • A constructor that wraps a raw vtable pointer

Companions may be either:

  • Predefined by the library (for built-in Win32 / COM interfaces)
  • Registered by user code for custom or third-party interfaces

This system is used by functions such as:

  • createInstance<T>()
  • CoCreateInstance<T>()
  • CoGetClassObject<T>()
