A few years back, I wanted to see what you could do if you really used modern C++ with the COM principles. This is what I came up with: https://github.com/jbandela/cppcomponents https://github.com/jbandela/cppcomponents * There is no code generation or IDL files * Components implement IUnknown * You can have Constructors and static functions for C++ classes. * You can take std::vector, std::string, std::tuple as parameters and return them (even if you are using different compilers and standard libraries) * Cross-platform
