FIX: Memory Leak When You Use the Global Interface Table from COM+ Pooled Object (276396)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q276396 SYMPTOMS
A component that is configured in COM+ holds an interface to an out-of-process, unconfigured Component Object Model (COM) object. The interface is held in the global interface table (GIT) and is not shared by other instances of the COM+ component (for example, the GIT cookie is not shared with other instances). On the first method call to the COM+ component, the out-of-process COM object is created with the CoCreateInstance function and placed in the GIT with the RegisterInterfaceInGlobal method.
On each method call (including the first call), the interface to the out-of-process component is extracted from the GIT through GetInterfaceFromGlobal. If the COM+ component is configured to "Enable object pooling", the Dllhost.exe for the component leaks approximately 80 bytes for each method call. If the COM+ component does not "Enable object pooling", Dllhost.exe does not leak.
