How to intentionally crash a COM object

Question

Perhaps a strange question, but I need to check the stability and error procedures of the host process (the caller) that accesses the COM objects. Therefore, I need some simple / short methods that allow the COM object itself to be reset.

Appendix 1: With a crash, I mean the type of failure that can also cause the caller.

Addition 2: I have the code of the caller as a COM server.

Answer 1

What do you mean by crash? What language do you use on your COM server

• If you mean to throw an exception through COM , then just explicitly throw an exception or raise an error. Or you can intentionally divide by zero if you want.
• If you mean to freeze and never return , deliberately encode an infinite loop. For instance. for(;;);
• If you mean a raw access violation , it depends on the language you use on your COM server. You can try to access the NULL memory location.

Answer 2

Do communities have wikis on how to crash programs?

A couple from the head:

• The reason is massive :)
• Throw an exception

Answer 3

If you use COM to communicate with another executable file (as opposed to loading the dll in your own process space), you can taskkill execute another process from the command line.
