Syntax

ULONG ReadPointer(
  ULONG64  Address,
  PULONG64 Pointer
);

Parameters

Specifies the address of the pointer to read.

Pointer

Receives the value of the pointer. If the target uses 32-bit pointers, the pointer is sign-extended to 64 bits.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE; otherwise, it is FALSE.

Remarks

If you are writing a WdbgExts extension, include wdbgexts.h. If you are writing a DbgEng extension that calls this function, include wdbgexts.h before dbgeng.h (see Writing DbgEng Extension Code for details).
