ICorProfilerInfo4::InitializeCurrentThread Method

Initializes the current thread in advance of subsequent profiler API calls on the same thread, so that deadlock can be avoided.

Syntax

HRESULT InitializeCurrentThread ();  

Remarks

We recommend that you call InitializeCurrentThread on any thread that will call a profiler API while there are suspended threads. This method is typically used by sampling profilers that create their own thread to call the ICorProfilerInfo2::DoStackSnapshot method to perform stack walks while the target thread is suspended. By calling InitializeCurrentThread once when the profiler first creates the sampling thread, profilers can ensure that lazy per-thread initialization that the CLR would otherwise perform during the first call to DoStackSnapshot can now occur safely when no other threads are suspended.
