Hi,
Below is an example of two interfaces I declared. Trying to implement
them on a TObject subclass, I got a compiler error that IUnkown was
not implemented in my subclass. In all units I defined {$interfaces
corba}
Eventually I found out that I had to remove the (IInterface) heritage
from my interface definitions. Why is IInterface bound to IIUnknown
(aka COM interfaces)? In Delphi 7+ and Kylix, IInterface was not a COM
interface, so I would have expected that to be usable in CORBA
interfaces in FPC too, but apparently not. So what's the point of
having IInterface then if it is always bound to COM? In that case,
simply defined your interfaces from IUnkown as per the COM spec.
It's Delphi compatible:

So yes, it seems to be a COM interface even in Delphi 7+ (I don't know
about Kylix though).

Sven
