This interface represents a position in the address space of the machine running the program being debugged.
Syntax
IDebugMemoryContext2 : IUnknown
Notes for Implementers
The debug engine (DE) implements this interface to represent an address in memory.
Notes for Callers
A call to GetMemoryContext or GetMemoryContext returns this interface. Also, calls to Add and Subtract return new copies of this interface after the appropriate arithmetic operation has been applied.
Methods in Vtable Order
The following table shows the methods of IDebugMemoryContext2.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| GetName | Gets the user-displayable name for this context. |
| GetInfo | Gets information that describes this context. |
| Add | Adds a specified value to the current context's address to create a new context. |
| Subtract | Subtracts a specified value from the current context's address to create a new context. |
| Compare | Compares two contexts in the manner indicated by compare flags. |
Remarks
Visual Studio's Memory window calls GetMemoryContext to obtain the IDebugMemoryContext2 interface that contains the evaluated expression used for the memory address. This context is then passed to ReadAt and WriteAt to specify the address to read or write.
