UpdateDebugInfoFileEx function (imagehlp.h)
Uses the specified extended information to update the corresponding fields in the symbol file.
Syntax
BOOL IMAGEAPI UpdateDebugInfoFileEx(
[in] PCSTR ImageFileName,
[in] PCSTR SymbolPath,
[out] PSTR DebugFilePath,
[in] PIMAGE_NT_HEADERS32 NtHeaders,
[in] DWORD OldCheckSum
);
Parameters
[in] ImageFileName
The name of the image that is now out of date with respect to its symbol file.
[in] SymbolPath
The path in which to look for the symbol file.
[out] DebugFilePath
A pointer to a buffer that receives the name of the symbol file that was updated.
[in] NtHeaders
A pointer to an IMAGE_NT_HEADERS structure that specifies the new header information.
[in] OldCheckSum
The original checksum value. If this value does not match the checksum that is present in the mapped image, the flags in the symbol file contain IMAGE_SEPARATE_DEBUG_MISMATCH and the last error value is set to ERROR_INVALID_DATA.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE.
If the function fails, the return value is FALSE.
Remarks
The UpdateDebugInfoFileEx function takes the information stored in the IMAGE_NT_HEADERS structure and updates the corresponding fields in the symbol file. Any time an image file is modified, this function should be called to keep the numbers in sync. Specifically, whenever an image checksum changes, the symbol file should be updated to match.
All ImageHlp functions, such as this one, are single threaded. Therefore, calls from more than one thread to this function will likely result in unexpected behavior or memory corruption. To avoid this, you must synchronize all concurrent calls from more than one thread to this function.
