IDebugEventCallbacks::ChangeEngineState method (dbgeng.h)

The ChangeEngineState callback method is called by the engine when its state has changed.

Syntax

HRESULT ChangeEngineState(
  [in] ULONG   Flags,
  [in] ULONG64 Argument
);

Parameters

[in] Flags

Specifies a bit-set indicating the type of changes that occurred in the engine's state. The following bit flags might be set:

Value Description
DEBUG_CES_CURRENT_THREAD The current thread has changed, which implies that the current target and current process might also have changed.
DEBUG_CES_EFFECTIVE_PROCESSOR The effective processor has changed.
DEBUG_CES_BREAKPOINTS One or more breakpoints have changed.
DEBUG_CES_CODE_LEVEL The code interpretation level has changed.
DEBUG_CES_EXECUTION_STATUS The execution status has changed.
DEBUG_CES_ENGINE_OPTIONS The engine options have changed.
DEBUG_CES_LOG_FILE The log file has been opened or closed.
DEBUG_CES_RADIX The default radix has changed.
DEBUG_CES_EVENT_FILTERS The event filters have changed.
DEBUG_CES_PROCESS_OPTIONS The process options for the current process have changed.
DEBUG_CES_EXTENSIONS Extension DLLs have been loaded or unloaded. (For more information, see Loading Debugger Extension DLLs.)
DEBUG_CES_SYSTEMS A target has been added or removed.
DEBUG_CES_ASSEMBLY_OPTIONS The assemble options have changed.
DEBUG_CES_EXPRESSION_SYNTAX The default expression syntax has changed.
DEBUG_CES_TEXT_REPLACEMENTS Text replacements have changed.

[in] Argument

Provides additional information about the change to the engine's state. If more than one bit flag is set in the Flags parameter, the Argument parameter is not used. Otherwise, the interpretation of the value of Argument depends on the value of Flags:

DEBUG_CES_CURRENT_THREAD

The value of Argument is the current engine thread ID or--if there is no current thread--DEBUG_ANY_ID. For more information, see Threads and Processes.

DEBUG_CES_EFFECTIVE_PROCESSOR

The value of Argument is the type of the effective processor.

DEBUG_CES_BREAKPOINTS

The value of Argument is the breakpoint ID of the breakpoint that was changed or--if more than one breakpoint was changed--DEBUG_ANY_ID. For more information, see Breakpoints.

DEBUG_CES_CODE_LEVEL

The value of Argument is the code interpretation level.

DEBUG_CES_EXECUTION_STATUS

The value of Argument is the execution status (as described in the DEBUG_STATUS_XXX topic) possibly combined with the bit flag DEBUG_STATUS_INSIDE_WAIT. DEBUG_STATUS_INSIDE_WAIT is set when a WaitForEvent call is pending. For more information, see Debugging Session and Execution Model.

DEBUG_CES_ENGINE_OPTIONS

The value of Argument is the engine options.

DEBUG_CES_LOG_FILE

The value of Argument is TRUE if the log file was opened and FALSE if the log file was closed.

DEBUG_CES_RADIX

The value of Argument is the default radix.

DEBUG_CES_EVENT_FILTERS

The value of Argument is the index of the event filter that was changed or--if more than one event filter was changed--DEBUG_ANY_ID.

DEBUG_CES_PROCESS_OPTIONS

The value of Argument is the process options for the current process.

DEBUG_CES_EXTENSIONS

The value of Argument is zero.

DEBUG_CES_SYSTEMS

The value of Argument is the target ID of the target that was added or--if a target was removed--DEBUG_ANY_ID.

DEBUG_CES_ASSEMBLE_OPTIONS

The value of Argument is the assemble options.

DEBUG_CES_EXPRESSION_SYNTAX

The value of Argument is the default expression syntax.

DEBUG_CES_TEXT_REPLACEMENTS

The value of Argument is DEBUG_ANY_ID.

Return value

The return value is ignored by the engine unless it indicates a remote procedure call error; in this case the client, with which this IDebugEventCallbacks object is registered, is disabled.

Remarks

This method is only called by the engine if the DEBUG_EVENT_CHANGE_ENGINE_STATE flag is set in the mask returned by IDebugEventCallbacks::GetInterestMask.
