I made an assumption that a COM server always pass by a DllMain entry point.
That was based on Win32 Prog. Ref. under Structuring a Namespace Extension:

As a reminder, the construction of an in-process server DLL requires the
implementation of a DLL that exports the following functions:
DllMain DllGetClassObject DllUnloadNow

That was reinforced by the fact that i use such a DLL with the following declaration.
extern "C" int WINAPI DllMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID lpReserved)
Which is more a C declaration than a C++.

But i also found on http://tinyurl.com/oecsq

DllMain() is not the entry point in a C++ DLL, DLLEntryPoint() is.  (Remy Lebeau)

Sorry for the misleading.
