1338596 - mscom Agile References

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: IPC, defect)

Description

[(No longer employed by Mozilla) Aaron Klotz]

Agile references are intermediate objects that may be safely passed between COM apartments.

There are two ways to do this: RoGetAgileReference, which requires Windows 8.1, or the Global Interface Table.

I have written a patch that encapsulates these differences to just do the right thing.
