PWINDBG_EXTENSION_DLL_INIT callback function (wdbgexts.h)

The PWINDBG_EXTENSION_DLL_INIT ( WinDbgExtensionDllInit) callback function is used to load and initialize the extension module.

Syntax

PWINDBG_EXTENSION_DLL_INIT PwindbgExtensionDllInit;

void PwindbgExtensionDllInit(
  PWINDBG_EXTENSION_APIS lpExtensionApis,
  USHORT MajorVersion,
  USHORT MinorVersion
)
{...}

Parameters

lpExtensionApis

A pointer to a WINDBG_EXTENSION_APIS64 structure, which contains pointers to functions that you can use for standard operations. Copy the entire structure to a global variable in your DLL. For example, you could create a global variable named ExtensionApis as shown in the following example.

WINDBG_EXTENSION_APIS64   ExtensionApis;

MajorVersion

Specifies the Microsoft Windows build type. A value of 0xC indicates the checked build of Windows. A value of 0xF indicates the free build of Windows. Save this value in a global variable in your DLL. For example, you could create a global variable named SavedMajorVersion.

MinorVersion

Specifies the Windows build number (for example 2600) of the target system. Save this value in a global variable in your DLL. For example, you could create a global variable named SavedMinorVersion.

Return value

None

Remarks

WinDbgExtensionDllInit is called by the debugger when the extension DLL is loaded.

It is recommended that you always use 64-bit pointers in your code, since the debugger will automatically resize these pointers when necessary. See 32-Bit Pointers and 64-Bit Pointers for details. However, if you choose to use 32-bit pointers, the first parameter of WinDbgExtensionDllInit will have the type PWINDBG_EXTENSION_APIS instead of PWINDBG_EXTENSION_APIS64.
