I’m happy to use CORBA but that means I can’t cast an interface back to an object using “as” but I’m not sure that’s the reason I was getting that crash (I need to make a test example I guess) but you seem to think “as” is needed but CORBA doesn’t allow this.

Tried to switch  CORBA interface to a COM now and got another strange crash accessing memory.

What does memory management even mean for interfaces? I never allocate an interface I just implement it in a class so what’s there to be freed? All these crashes I’m getting suggest memory is being trashed by the compiler at some point without my knowledge. I never explicitly allocate an interface like an object so there’s nothing to manage in my mind.
