Hello Mark,
It seems to me I missed the start point of this thread.
I didn't see who said:
">From what I understand, CINT can use objects in DLL's."
And was the reason for this conclusion.
My guess speaking "object" you kept in mind M$ "The Component
Object Model" COM and your question probably means "whether ROOT/CINT
are "COM-enabled applications".
Strictly say, no it is not "COM-enabled application". From another
hand it is just a C++ code and one is free to call any thing from
there. The only requirement is to use a so-called Root/CINT
dictionary from his/her C++ header file (see The CINT Dictionary
Generator from "http://root.cern.ch/root/CintGenerator.html"). If one
can do this for his/her C++ header files he/she is Ok with ROOT.
