/*
	This file define a concrete implementation of the IEcmComponent
	interface, as defined in EcmIf.h.  IEcmComponent describes an object
	with RequestInterface, Refer, and Release functions.  EcmObject
	provides implementations of those functions that find the requested
	interface, increment a refcount, and decrement a refcount (deleting
	the object if necessary), respectively.

	RequestInterface works by making use of the FindInterface helper
	function.  FindInterface is implemented by all EcmObject subclasses
	to cast itself to the right type and return the casted pointer if
	the subclass supports the requested interface.

	In order to make the implementation of FindInterface in all subclasses
	simple and consistant, three macros are provided: ECM_CLASS_IF_LIST_BEGIN,
	ECM_CLASS_IF, and ECM_CLASS_IF_LIST_END.  The first macro introduces
	a list of interfaces a particular class supports, the second macro is
	used once for each interface supported, and the final macro cleans up
	the list.  In all, the three macros as used as follows in the class
	declaration of the class implementing an interface:

		class EmImplementation : public EcmObject,
			ecm_implements IEmBaseInterface1,
			ecm_implements IEmBaseInterface2
		{
			public:

				ECM_CLASS_IF_LIST_BEGIN(EmImplementation, EcmObject)
					ECM_CLASS_IF(kBaseIfn1, IEmBaseInterface1)
					ECM_CLASS_IF(kBaseIfn2, IEmBaseInterface2)
				ECM_CLASS_IF_LIST_END(EmImplementation, EcmObject)

			...
		};

//
//		Extended Component Model (ECM) -- Base Class
//
//		We're adding support for component interfaces because 
//			exporting  c++ classes is a real pain from loadable libraries 
//			(at least Windows DLLs), Anyway, component design using interfaces
//			works really well for "plugin" type designs.
//
//		In our implementation, an interface is a c++ abstract base class.
