IDebugObject

This interface represents an object that the binder creates to encapsulate the values of symbols and expressions.

IDebugObject : IUnknown

Notes for Implementers

An expression evaluator implements this interface to represent an object.

Notes for Callers

This interface is the base class for all objects that the expression evaluator uses in parsed expressions. It is returned by a call to the IDebugBinder::Bind method. QueryInterface obtains the more specialized interfaces from this interface.

Methods in Vtable Order

The following table shows the methods of IDebugObject.

Method	Description
IDebugObject::GetSize	Gets the size of the object.
IDebugObject::GetValue	Gets the value of the object as a consecutive series of bytes.
IDebugObject::SetValue	Sets the value of the object from a consecutive series of bytes.
IDebugObject::SetReferenceValue	Sets the reference value of this object.
IDebugObject::GetMemoryContext	Gets the memory context that represents the address of the value of the object.
IDebugObject::GetManagedDebugObject	Creates a copy of the managed object in the address space of the debug engine.
IDebugObject::IsNullReference	Tests whether this object is a null reference.
IDebugObject::IsEqual	Compares an object to this one.
IDebugObject::IsReadOnly	Determines if this object is read-only.
IDebugObject::IsProxy	Determines if the object is a transparent proxy.

Remarks

The expression evaluator uses this interface as the base class to represent objects in a parse tree.
