<title>Macros to define a COM interface</title>

The goal of the following set of definitions is to provide a
|
|
way to use the same header file definitions to provide both
|
|
a C interface and a C++ object oriented interface to COM
|
|
interfaces. The type of interface is selected automatically
|
|
depending on the language but it is always possible to get
|
|
the C interface in C++ by defining CINTERFACE.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
It is based on the following assumptions:

<para>
|
|
all COM interfaces derive from IUnknown, this should not
|
|
be a problem.
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
the header file only defines the interface, the actual
|
|
fields are defined separately in the C file implementing
|
|
the interface.
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The natural approach to this problem would be to make sure
|
|
we get a C++ class and virtual methods in C++ and a
|
|
structure with a table of pointer to functions in C.
|
|
Unfortunately the layout of the virtual table is compiler
|
|
specific, the layout of g++ virtual tables is not the same
|
|
as that of an egcs virtual table which is not the same as
|
|
that generated by Visual C++. There are work arounds to make
|
|
the virtual tables compatible via padding but unfortunately
|
|
the one which is imposed to the Wine emulator by the Windows
|
|
binaries, i.e. the Visual C++ one, is the most compact of
|
|
all.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
So the solution I finally adopted does not use virtual
|
|
tables. Instead I use in-line non virtual methods that
|
|
dereference the method pointer themselves and perform the
|
|
call.

The ICOM_INTERFACE macro is used in the ICOM_METHOD macros
|
|
to define the type of the 'this' pointer. Defining this
|
|
macro here saves us the trouble of having to repeat the
|
|
interface name everywhere. Note however that because of the
|
|
way macros work, a macro like ICOM_METHOD1 cannot use
|
|
'ICOM_INTERFACE##_VTABLE' because this would give
|
|
'ICOM_INTERFACE_VTABLE' and not 'IDirect3D_VTABLE'.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
ICOM_METHODS defines the methods specific to this
|
|
interface. It is then aggregated with the inherited methods
|
|
to form ICOM_IMETHODS.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
ICOM_IMETHODS defines the list of methods that are
|
|
inheritable from this interface. It must be written manually
|
|
(rather than using a macro to generate the equivalent code)
|
|
to avoid macro recursion (which compilers don't like).
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The ICOM_DEFINE finally declares all the structures
|
|
necessary for the interface. We have to explicitly use the
|
|
interface name for macro expansion reasons again. Inherited
|
|
methods are inherited in C by using the IDirect3D_METHODS
|
|
macro and the parent's Xxx_IMETHODS macro. In C++ we need
|
|
only use the IDirect3D_METHODS since method inheritance is
|
|
taken care of by the language.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In C++ the ICOM_METHOD macros generate a function prototype
|
|
and a call to a function pointer method. This means using
|
|
once 't1 p1, t2 p2, ...' and once 'p1, p2' without the
|
|
types. The only way I found to handle this is to have one
|
|
ICOM_METHOD macro per number of parameters and to have it
|
|
take only the type information (with const if necessary) as
|
|
parameters. The 'undef ICOM_INTERFACE' is here to remind
|
|
you that using ICOM_INTERFACE in the following macros will
|
|
not work. This time it's because the ICOM_CALL macro
|
|
expansion is done only once the 'IDirect3D_Xxx' macro is
|
|
expanded. And by that time ICOM_INTERFACE will be long gone
|
|
anyway.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
You may have noticed the double commas after each parameter
|
|
type. This allows you to put the name of that parameter
|
|
which I think is good for documentation. It is not required
|
|
and since I did not know what to put there for this example
|
|
(I could only find doc about IDirect3D2), I left them blank.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Finally the set of 'IDirect3D_Xxx' macros is a standard set
|
|
of macros defined to ease access to the interface methods in
|
|
C. Unfortunately I don't see any way to avoid having to
|
|
duplicate the inherited method definitions there. This time
|
|
I could have used a trick to use only one macro whatever the
|
|
number of parameters but I preferred to have it work the same
|
|
way as above.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
You probably have noticed that we don't define the fields we
|
|
need to actually implement this interface: reference count,
|
|
pointer to other resources and miscellaneous fields. That's
|
|
because these interfaces are just that: interfaces. They may
|
|
be implemented more than once, in different contexts and
|
|
sometimes not even in Wine. Thus it would not make sense to
|
|
impose that the interface contains some specific fields.

IDirect3D only contains a pointer to the IDirect3D
|
|
virtual/jump table. This is the only thing the user needs to
|
|
know to use the interface. Of course the structure we will
|
|
define to implement this interface will have more fields but
|
|
the first one will match this pointer.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The code generated by ICOM_DEFINE defines both the structure
|
|
representing the interface and the structure for the jump
|
|
table. ICOM_DEFINE uses the parent's Xxx_IMETHODS macro to
|
|
automatically repeat the prototypes of all the inherited
|
|
methods and then uses IDirect3D_METHODS to define the
|
|
IDirect3D methods.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Each method is declared as a pointer to function field in
|
|
the jump table. The implementation will fill this jump table
|
|
with appropriate values, probably using a static variable,
|
|
and initialize the lpVtbl field to point to this variable.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The IDirect3D_Xxx macros then just dereference the lpVtbl
|
|
pointer and use the function pointer corresponding to the
|
|
macro name. This emulates the behavior of a virtual table
|
|
and should be just as fast.
|
|
</para>
|

<para>

This C code should be quite compatible with the Windows

|
headers both for code that uses COM interfaces and for code
|
|
implementing a COM interface.

In C++ IDirect3D does double duty as both the virtual/jump
|
|
table and as the interface definition. The reason for this
|
|
is to avoid having to duplicate the method definitions: once
|
|
to have the function pointers in the jump table and once to
|
|
have the methods in the interface class. Here one macro can
|
|
generate both. This means though that the first pointer,
|
|
t.lpVtbl defined in IUnknown, must be interpreted as the
|
|
jump table pointer if we interpret the structure as the
|
|
interface class, and as the function pointer to the
|
|
QueryInterface method, t.fnQueryInterface, if we interpret
|
|
the structure as the jump table. Fortunately this gymnastic
|
|
is entirely taken care of in the header of IUnknown.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Of course in C++ we use inheritance so that we don't have to
|
|
duplicate the method definitions.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Since IDirect3D does double duty, each ICOM_METHOD macro
|
|
defines both a function pointer and a non-virtual inline
|
|
method which dereferences it and calls it. This way this
|
|
method behaves just like a virtual method but does not
|
|
create a true C++ virtual table which would break the
|
|
structure layout. If you look at the implementation of these
|
|
methods you'll notice that they would not work for void
|
|
functions. We have to return something and fortunately this
|
|
seems to be what all the COM methods do (otherwise we would
|
|
need another set of macros).
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note how the ICOM_METHOD generates both function prototypes
|
|
mixing types and formal parameter names and the method
|
|
invocation using only the formal parameter name. This is the
|
|
reason why we need different macros to handle different
|
|
numbers of parameters.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Finally there is no IDirect3D_Xxx macro. These are not
|
|
needed in C++ unless the CINTERFACE macro is defined in
|
|
which case we would not be here.

This C++ code works well for code that just uses COM
|
|
interfaces. But it will not work with C++ code implement a
|
|
COM interface. That's because such code assumes the
|
|
interface methods are declared as virtual C++ methods which
|
|
is not the case here.

We first define what the interface really contains. This is

|
the _IDirect3D structure. The first field must of course be

|
the virtual table pointer. Everything else is free.
|

</para>
|
|
<para>
|

Then we predeclare our static virtual table variable, we

will need its address in some methods to initialize the

virtual table pointer of the returned interface objects.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Then we implement the interface methods. To match what has
|
|
been declared in the header file they must take a pointer to
|
|
a IDirect3D structure and we must cast it to an _IDirect3D
|
|
so that we can manipulate the fields. This is performed by
|
|
the ICOM_THIS macro.

</para>
|

Finally we initialize the virtual table.
