[IronPython] -X:PreferComDispatch

[Lee Culver]

Interesting.  Which of the two is "better"?  Is there a performance tradeoff turning it on or off with COM objects which do or do not implement IDispatch?

Thanks,
-Lee

This enables using new support for COM objects that uses COM's IDispatch interface instead of trying to get a TypeInfo for the object and use that to invoke it.  With it enabled we'll first check for IDispatch then to see if we can get the TypeInfo, w/o it we'll check for the TypeInfo (via IProvideClassInfo or via IDispatch) and then try IDispatch if that fails.

Hi,

Can anyone eleaborate a bit more on the -X:PreferComDispatch option?

Does it mean extended support for standard libraries? What does the
prefer part stand for as in prefer com over what?

Martin
