That's point c) since COM uses C++ calls which always have the pointer to
the instance (in your case the interface) as argument. Taken from the
Win32 SDK "unknwn.h" file the C style declaration looks like:

  ULONG AddRef(IUnknown * This);

You should also keep in mind that all COM functions use C++ virtual
methods meaning that the actual function pointer is obtained by a
lookup in the interface which is basically an array with all sorts of
function pointers. Don't even *think* of interpreting the interface you
obtain as a function address. BTW, I'm really interested how you want to
interface COM without parsing the entire header files for making sure
that you're not coding the indices for the functions wrong. I've tried
this once but given up and decided to stay with a wrapper DLL instead.
