/*
* BSTRING.H
*
* Defines a BSTRING C++ class that allows us to wrap the OLE BSTR (Basic
* String) type, primarily to simplify the creation and freeing of these
* objects. This is intended to be a lightweight wrapper with minimal
* overhead.
*
* If no input string is specified to the constructor or if the allocation
* of the BSTR fails, then the <m_bstr> member is set to NULL.
*
* Note: The BSTRING class is not intended to allow managing multiple BSTR
* strings with a single object.
*
* Usage scenarios:
*
* 1) Create a BSTR from an existing string, have it automatically freed
* when done.
*
* // Allocate BSTR using SysAllocString()
* BSTRING bstrComputerName(lpstrComputerName);
*
* ...
*
* // Automatic, lightweight cast to BSTR
* SomeFunctionThatTakesABSTR(bstrComputerName);
*
* ...
*
* // SysFreeString() gets called automatically when the scope of
* // bstrComputerName ends.
*
* 2) Create a null BSTRING object, pass it to a function that returns an
* allocated BSTR, then have it automatically freed when done.
*
* // Create null BSTRING
* BSTRING bstrReturnedComputerName;
*
* ...
*
* // Call a function that returns an allocated BSTR.
* SomeFunctionThatReturnsABSTR(bstrReturnedComputerName.GetLPBSTR());
*
* ...
*
* // SysFreeString() gets called automatically when the scope of
* // bstrReturnedComputerName ends.
