DCOM paper in lorikeet. This is the result of 1.5 months work (mainly
figuring out how things *really* work) at the end of 2004.
In general:
- Clearer distinction between COM and DCOM. DCOM is now merely
the glue between DCE/RPC+ORPC and COM. COM can also work without
DCOM now. This makes the code a lot clearer.
- Clearer distinction between NDR and DCOM. Before, NDR had a couple of
"if"s to cope with DCOM, which are now gone.
- Use "real" arguments rather then structures for function arguments in
COM, mainly because most of these calls are local so packing/unpacking
data for every call is too much overhead (both speed- and code-wise)
- Support several mechanisms to load class objects:
- from memory (e.g. part of the current executable, registered at start-up)
- from shared object files
- remotely
- Most things are now also named COM rather then DCOM because that's what it
really is. After an object is created, it no longer matters whether it
was created locally or remotely.
There is a very simple example class that contains
both a class factory and a class that implements the IStream interface.
It can be tested (locally only, remotely is broken at the moment)
by running the COM-SIMPLE smbtorture test.
Still to-do:
- Autogenerate parts of the class implementation code (using the coclass definitions in IDL)
- Test server-side
- Implement some of the common classes, add definitions for common interfaces.

More work on the example class implementation

This reduces the total size of the samba binaries from 119 Mb to 73 Mb.
Next step will be to have the build system obtain some of this information
by itself, so that we don't have to write ~10 lines per interface manually.

so while this does compile, it does not work yet.

- Re-disable tdbtool (it was building fine on my Debian box but other
machines were having problems)
(This used to be commit 0d7bb2c40b7a9ed59df3f8944133ea562697e814)

- Work on server side and local COM support (should work, just no
example classes yet)
- Use vtables so that local and remote calls can be used transparently
- Generate 'proxies and stubs' rather then heavily modified code in client.pm and server.pm. proxies (client side code) are generated in proxy.pm, stubs (server side dispatchers) are generated in stubs.pm
- Support registering classes and interfaces
- DCOM interfaces no longer have to be in the same IDL file as their
base interface, which will allow us to split up dcom.idl
