ICorDebugProcess::SetThreadContext Method
Sets the context for the given thread in this process.
HRESULT SetThreadContext(
[in] DWORD threadID,
[in] ULONG32 contextSize,
[in, length_is(contextSize), size_is(contextSize)]
BYTE context[]);
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
threadID |
[in] The ID of the thread for which to set the context. |
contextSize |
[in] The size of the context array. |
context |
[in] An array of bytes that describe the thread's context. The context specifies the architecture of the processor on which the thread is executing. |
Remarks
The debugger should call this method rather than the Win32 SetThreadContext function, because the thread may actually be in a "hijacked" state, in which its context has been temporarily changed. This method should be used only when a thread is in native code. Use ICorDebugRegisterSet Interface for threads in managed code. You should never need to modify the context of a thread during an out-of-band (OOB) debug event.
The data passed must be a context structure for the current platform.
This method can corrupt the runtime if used improperly.
