ICLRMetadataLocator Interface

Used by the data access services layer to locate metadata of assemblies in a target process.

interface ICLRMetadataLocator : IUnknown
{
    HRESULT GetMetadata(
        [in]  LPCWSTR         imagePath,
        [in]  ULONG32         imageTimestamp,
        [in]  ULONG32         imageSize,
        [in]  GUID*           mvid,
        [in]  ULONG32         mdRva,
        [in]  ULONG32         flags,
        [in]  ULONG32         bufferSize,
        [out, size_is(bufferSize), length_is(*dataSize)]
                           BYTE*           buffer,
        [out] ULONG32*        dataSize);
};

Methods

Method	Description
ICLRMetadataLocator::GetMetadata Method	Retrieves the metadata of an image from the target process.

Remarks

The API client (that is, the debugger) must implement this interface as appropriate for the particular target process. For example, the implementation for a live process would be different from that of a memory dump.
