How to get function name against function address by reading co-classs'es vtable?

I need to call the co-class function by reading its address from vtable of COM exposed interface methods. I need some generic way to read addresses.

Now I need to call the function, which would have specific address(NOT KNOWN) arguments(parameters) which I have collected from TLB, and name as well. How that address corresponds to that function name to which I am going to call.

For this I need to traverse vtable which is holding functional addresses, LASTLY need to correspond function address with NAME of that function. This is I dont know. How? More over one function with the same name may appear in vtable(Overloading case)开发者_Python百科. In that case we need to distinguish function names w.r.t their addresses. How to tackle ? Regards Usman

Respectfully Sir.!!

I am designing a Unit Testing framework for which I need to pull out all function signatures of certain COM Exe or COM DLL to show in the grid or whatever interface to user, so that later by selecting certain function signature from that list, He/She can execute that function after providing the arguments(data as parameters) to that function. All this would be done dynamically at runtime, on runtime function will be called whatever user wants.

This can be achieved from various ways.

By providing TLB(Type libraries) we can pull every function signature and can show every signature to Grid control or on Tree control. Second step is to call these functions at runtime by providing data. Calling require data and address of functions(or Names). I would have some GUI panel or control which will take the data from user and that data would then become as arguments.

Now real problem comes for which I posted earlier. Call to functions/methods of that interface exposed by COM component implemented by co-class. This requires to trail down vtable of interface exposed by component , finding the address of that function and then need to know IS IT REALLY THAT ADDRESS TO WHICH I AM GOING TO CALL AS FUNCTION? So this requires to translate that address to function name and then comparison some string comparison would decide that whether it was really that function name which USER CLICKED from Tree Control showing signatures.

Suggestions or reccommendations?

Call ITypeInfo::GetFuncDesc for each function and the FUNCDESC structure you get back contains the vtable index in the oVft member. Cast an interfaces vtable to void** and just use it as an index.

Of course quite why you need to do this I do not know :)
