IDebugSymbols3::GetScope method (dbgeng.h)

The GetScope method returns information about the current scope.

Syntax

HRESULT GetScope(
  [out, optional] PULONG64           InstructionOffset,
  [out, optional] PDEBUG_STACK_FRAME ScopeFrame,
  [out, optional] PVOID              ScopeContext,
  [in]            ULONG              ScopeContextSize
);

Parameters

[out, optional] InstructionOffset

Receives the location in the process's virtual address space of the current scope's current instruction.

[out, optional] ScopeFrame

Receives the DEBUG_STACK_FRAME structure representing the current scope's stack frame.

[out, optional] ScopeContext

Receives the current scope's thread context. The type of the thread context is the CONTEXT structure for the target's effective processor. The buffer ScopeContext must be large enough to hold this structure.

[in] ScopeContextSize

Specifies the size of the buffer ScopeContext.

Return value

This method may also return error values. See Return Values for more details.
