IGlobalRSCAQueryProvider::GetFunctionParameters Method

Returns the parameters of the dynamic function call that caused the event.

Syntax

virtual PCWSTR GetFunctionParameters(  
   VOID  
) const = 0;  

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Value

A pointer to a constant null-terminated Unicode string that contains the parameters of the dynamic function call that caused the event.

Remarks

CGlobalModule derived classes that register for GL_RSCA_QUERY events receive an IGlobalRscaQueryProvider pointer as a parameter on the CGlobalModule::OnGlobalRSCAQueryvirtual method. You can then retrieve the parameters of the function by calling the GetFunctionParameters method on the IGlobalRSCAQueryProvider pointer.

The return value of the GetFunctionParameters method depends on implementation. You should use the following information as a guideline, but it may not be correct in all scenarios:

Notes for Implementers

IGlobalRSCAQueryProvider implementers are responsible for memory management with this data; therefore, IGlobalRSCAQueryProvider implementers that use dynamic memory allocation must release or call delete on the PCWSTR pointer when it is no longer needed.

Notes for Callers

IGlobalRSCAQueryProvider implementers are responsible for memory management with this data; therefore, IGlobalRSCAQueryProvider clients must not release or call delete on the returned PCWSTR pointer when this data is no longer needed. Furthermore, clients must not cast this data to a pointer that is not a const or change the state of the memory referenced by this PCWSTR, because either an access violation will be thrown or the data will become invalid.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to create a global module that listens for GL_RSCA_QUERY events and then writes the function parameter information to the Event Viewer.

Caution

IIS 7 generates a large number of events in the Event Viewer. To avoid a log overflow error in a production environment, you should generally avoid writing cache information to the event log. For demonstration purposes, this code example writes an entry to the Event Viewer in debug mode only.

The above code writes an event to the application log of the Event Viewer, where the Data box contains a string similar to the following:

You can optionally compile the code by using the __stdcall (/Gz) calling convention instead of explicitly declaring the calling convention for each function.
