If I want automatic garbage collection with interfaces, I use
 TInterfacedObject as base class. What should I use,
 if I don''t want automatic destruction?
 is there a similar common base class or do I
 have to implement the IInterface methods myself?

 I use this one:

{== BaseNonRefcountIntfObjU ===========================================}
 {: This unit provides a base class with a non-reference counted 
implementation of IUnknown.

 {======================================================================}

 unit BaseNonRefcountIntfObjU;

 interface

 type
   {: Derive classes that need a non-reference counted IUNknown 
     implementation from this class. }
   TNonRefcountInterfacedObject = class(TObject, IUnknown)
   protected
     { IUnknown }
     function QueryInterface(const IID : TGUID; out Obj): HResult;
       stdcall;
     function _AddRef: Integer; stdcall;
     function _Release: Integer; stdcall;
   end;

 implementation

 uses Windows;

 function TNonRefcountInterfacedObject.QueryInterface(const IID : TGUID;
   out Obj): HResult;
 begin
   if GetInterface(IID, Obj) then
     Result := S_OK
   else
     Result := E_NOINTERFACE
 end;

 function TNonRefcountInterfacedObject._AddRef: integer;
 begin
   Result := -1   // -1 indicates no reference counting is taking 
    place
 end;

 function TNonRefcountInterfacedObject._Release: integer;
 begin
   Result := -1   // -1 indicates no reference counting is taking 
    place
 end;

 end { BaseNonRefcountIntfObjU }.
