COM Signature

From vsshell80.idl:

C++

HRESULT GetGuid([out] const GUID **ppguidLib);

This method returns the GUID identifying the current library. Put the library GUID into the code that implements this method. This GUID should be unique to the library.

Note
This method returns a pointer to the GUID, not a copy of the GUID, so the memory the GUID occupies must exist for the life of the library.
