ICorDebugRegisterSet2::GetRegisters Method
Gets the value of each register (for the platform on which code is currently executing) that is specified by the given bit mask.
HRESULT GetRegisters (
[in] ULONG32 maskCount,
[in, size_is(maskCount)] BYTE mask[],
[in] ULONG32 regCount,
[out, size_is(regCount)] CORDB_REGISTER regBuffer[]
);
Parameters
maskCount
[in] The size, in bytes, of the mask array.mask
[in] An array of bytes, each bit of which corresponds to a register. If the bit is 1, the corresponding register's value will be retrieved.regCount
[in] The number of register values to be retrieved.regBuffer
[out] An array of CORDB_REGISTER objects, each of which receives the value of a register.
Remarks
The GetRegisters method returns an array of values from the registers that are specified by the mask. The array does not contain values of registers whose mask bit is not set. Thus, the size of the regBuffer array must be equal to the number of 1's in the mask. If the value of regCount is too small for the number of registers indicated by the mask, the values of the higher numbered registers will be truncated from the set. If regCount is too large, the unused regBuffer elements will be unmodified.
If an unavailable register is indicated by the mask, an indeterminate value will be returned for that register.
The ICorDebugRegisterSet2::GetRegisters method is necessary for platforms which have more than 64 registers. For example, IA64 has 128 general purpose registers and 128 floating-point registers, so you need more than 64-bits in the bit mask.
If you do not have more than 64 registers, as is the case on platforms such as x86, the GetRegisters method actually just translates the bytes in the mask byte array into a ULONG64 and then calls the ICorDebugRegisterSet::GetRegisters method, which takes the ULONG64 mask.
