A COM object doesn't have any defined structure, beyond the vtable (virtual function pointer table) associated with each of its interfaces.

See this which is more or less the same question.

The vtable is its defined structure! – David Heffernan Feb 15 '11 at 15:01

Not really - the vtable is associated with an interface: an object may have several, and they can be anywhere in memory. – Chris Dickson Feb 15 '11 at 15:04
