Safe Array

The standard array type in ComAutomation.

---

Of note:

• An entire API exists for creating, reading, and manipulating SafeArrays
• SafeArrays are allocated on the global heap.
• SafeArrays can be kept alive via a reference counting mechanism much like ComComponents
• SafeArrays can be multi-dimensional

ToDo: go into more detail about how SafeArrays are allocated and passed around in the ComponentObjectModel

whats the damn holdup

Should "ToDo" be renamed "NeverDone"? Last edited 2002-09-26.
