Re: How to get Interface reference counting in ATL

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

In my stdafx.h, is use:

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define _ATL_DEBUG_INTERFACES //Define this macro before including any ATL header files to trace all AddRef and Release calls on your components' interfaces to the output window.
#endif

Hi all..

For debug purposes I need to know if all interfaces I instantiate during execution of my program are freed because I realized that some processes that are run when I instantiate interfaces continue running after all interfaces are released, so I have to identify what interface isn't being freed (I'm not always using smart pointers).

Is there an API to get current reference counting for an interface?

By the way, I instantiating interfaces this way:

OO4O::OraDynaset * piDynaset = NULL;
m_piDatabase->GetCreateDynaset(T2COLE(lpszSQL), 0)->QueryInterface((OO4O::OraDynaset **)&piDynaset);

GetCreateDynaset method returns an IDispatchPtr.

I'm releasing that interface this way:

piDynaset->Release();
piDynaset = NULL;

Thanks
