ICorDebugDataTarget Interface

Provides a callback interface that provides access to a particular target process.

Methods

Method	Description
ICorDebugDataTarget::GetPlatform Method	Provides information about the platform, including processor architecture and operating system, on which the target process is running.
ICorDebugDataTarget::ReadVirtual Method	Gets a block of contiguous memory starting at the specified address, and returns it in the supplied buffer.
ICorDebugDataTarget::GetThreadContext Method	Requests the current thread context for the specified thread.

Remarks

ICorDebugDataTarget and its methods have the following characteristics:

• The debugging services call methods on this interface to access memory and other data in the target process.

• The debugger client must implement this interface as appropriate for the particular target (for example, a live process or a memory dump).

• The ICorDebugDataTarget methods can be invoked only from within methods implemented in other ICorDebug* interfaces. This ensures that the debugger client has control over which thread it is invoked on, and when.

• The ICorDebugDataTarget implementation must always return up-to-date information about the target.

The target process should be stopped and not changed in any way while ICorDebug* interfaces (and therefore ICorDebugDataTarget methods) are being called. If the target is a live process and its state changes, the ICLRDebugging::OpenVirtualProcess method has to be called again to provide a replacement ICorDebugProcess instance.

Note
This interface does not support being called remotely, either cross-machine or cross-process.
