When you unmarshal from the GIT, you have a proxy created in your target
apartment. How proxies are implemented, I don't know but they use memory for
sure. The code of your ThreadProc might give us more information e.g. if you
initialize the new threads as STA, then you definitely force the COM
run-time to use your memory.

Subject: leak in GetInterfaceFromGlobal

Hi all,

I'm getting a strange memory leak when using GetInterfaceFromGlobal from a
thread.

Basically what I do is:

1. CoCreate a dummy component "A" and get its "Ia" interface.

2. Register interface "Ia" in the GIT with RegisterInterfaceInGlobal

3. while (!_kbhit) {
        Create a thread which gets "Ia" from the GIT and then releases it.
        MessageLoop;
   }

====================================

When I execute the program the Task Manager shows how memory used by the
process raises
in blocks of 4Kb (sometimes 8Kb).

If I comment out the line where I call "GetInterfaceFromGlobal" (and nothing
else) the memory leak stops.

Any hint about what I can be doing wrong?

Thank a lot
