Module Name:

    wsbbstrg.h

Abstract:

    This component is C++ object representations a smart BSTR pointer. It
    is similar to the CComPtr, in that it takes care of allocating and
    freeing the memory needed to represent the string automatically. This
    simplifies cleanup of functions in error handling cases and it limits
    the need for FinalConstruct() and FinalRelease() calls in objects that
    derive from CComObjectRoot. It is similar to the CWsbStringPtr class.
