Retrieves the boundaries of the stack that was allocated by the system for the current thread.
Syntax
VOID WINAPI GetCurrentThreadStackLimits( _Out_ PULONG_PTR LowLimit, _Out_ PULONG_PTR HighLimit );
Parameters
- LowLimit [out]
-
A pointer variable that receives the lower boundary of the current thread stack.
- HighLimit [out]
-
A pointer variable that receives the upper boundary of the current thread stack.
