Hi. In BCB I am instantiating a class via CComObject eq

CComObject<AImpl> *a =new  CComObject<AImpl>;

followed  by returning an interface pointer to a.
This created a lot of difficulties for me which I discovered from:

CComObject<AImpl> *a =new  CComObject<AImpl>;
a->AddRef();
a->Release();

which causes a to be deleted.
What's going on, it looks like a is created with refcount 0. Shouldn't
it be 1?
