Re: How to get Interface reference counting in ATL
There's no way to determine the reference count on an interface
pointer. Documented or undocumented - it just doesn't exist.
I suggest you stop using raw pointers - then you can detect
reference leaks using the smart pointers' own tracking capabilities.

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
Jaime
