ICorProfilerInfo::GetILFunctionBodyAllocator Method

  • Article

Gets an interface that provides a method to allocate memory to be used for swapping out the body of a method in common intermediate language (CIL) code.

Syntax

HRESULT GetILFunctionBodyAllocator(
    [in]  ModuleID      moduleId,
    [out] IMethodMalloc **ppMalloc);

Parameters

moduleId [in] The ID of the module in which the method resides.

ppMalloc [out] A pointer to an IMethodMalloc interface that provides a method to allocate the memory.

Remarks

A method body in CIL code must be located as a relative virtual address (RVA), relative to the loaded module, which means that it follows the module within 4 GB. To make it easier for a tool to swap out the body of a method, the GetILFunctionBodyAllocator method ensures that memory is allocated within that range.
