CComPtr

[George2]

Hello everyone,


In the book ATL Internals, it is mentioned, the properties of CComPtr is,

--------------------
Release the encapsulated interface pointer when the class destructor executes;
Automatically releases its interface pointer during exception handling, ...
--------------------

They both means invoking the Relase method (inherited from IUnknown) of the interface?


thanks in advance,
George
