What do you mean, compile time generated? Are you building an attributed
project by any chance? I stay away as far as possible from those, so I
don't know much about them (beyond the fact that they are more trouble
than they are worth).

Define "object". You can pass a COM interface to a COM method, which
interface is of course implemented by a COM object. In this sense, it
can be said that an object is being passed to the method. Something
tells me this is not what your friend had in mind though.

land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
