Consider an interface (Foo, say) which has a method (Bar, say)
with an [in] parameter which is a pointer to an array of bytes.

For the async version there will be a
AsyncIFoo::Begin_Bar(/*[in]*/ byte* stuff)

Assuming the implementation fires up a worker thread to do it's work
(I'm following the pattern in
MicrosoftSDK\Samples\Com\Fundamentals\AsyncCalls\FullSvr
), can I safely just retain a copy of the stuff pointer in a
CAsyncFoo::m_stuff i.e m_stuff=stuff; and have my worker thread
access it without worrying about it being freed up before
the end of the corresponding CAsyncFoo::Finish_Bar() ?
Or could DCOM blow it away any time after Begin_Bar returns
(and I should take an owned copy) ?

Thanks for any help
Tim
