ICorDebug Interface

Provides methods that allow developers to debug applications in the common language runtime (CLR) environment.

Note

Mixed-mode (managed and native code) debugging is not supported on non-x86 platforms (such as IA64 and AMD64).

Methods

Method	Description
CanLaunchOrAttach Method	Determines whether launching a new process or attaching to the given process is possible within the context of the current machine and runtime configuration.
CreateProcess Method	Launches a process and its primary thread under the control of the debugger.
DebugActiveProcess Method	Attaches the debugger to an existing process.
EnumerateProcesses Method	Gets an enumerator for the processes that are being debugged.
GetProcess Method	Returns the "ICorDebugProcess" object with the given process ID.
Initialize Method	Initializes the ICorDebug object.
SetManagedHandler Method	Specifies the event handler object for managed events.
SetUnmanagedHandler Method	Specifies the event handler object for unmanaged events.
Terminate Method	Terminates the ICorDebug object.

Remarks

ICorDebug represents an event processing loop for a debugger process. The debugger must wait for the ICorDebugManagedCallback::ExitProcess callback from all processes being debugged before releasing this interface.

The ICorDebug object must be created by the CreateDebuggingInterfaceFromVersion function function, which allows clients to get a specific implementation of ICorDebug that emulates a specific version of the debugging API.

Note

This interface does not support being called remotely, either cross-machine or cross-process.
