ICLRErrorReportingManager::BeginCustomDump Method

  • Article

Specifies the configuration of custom heap dumps for error reporting.

HRESULT BeginCustomDump (
    [in] ECustomDumpFlavor dwFlavor,
    [in] DWORD dwNumItems,
    [in, size_is(dwNumItems), length_is(dwNumItems)] CustomDumpItem items[],
    DWORD dwReserved
);

Parameters

  • dwNumItems
    [in] The length of the items array. If dwFlavor is not DUMP_FLAVOR_Mini, dwNumItems should be zero.
  • items
    [in] An array of CustomDumpItem Structure instances, specifying the items to add to the mini-dump. If dwFlavor is not DUMP_FLAVOR_Mini, items should be null.
  • dwReserved
    [in] Reserved for future use.

Return Value

HRESULT Description

S_OK

The method returned successfully.

HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE

The common language runtime (CLR) has not been loaded into a process, or the CLR is in a state in which it cannot run managed code or process the call successfully.

HOST_E_TIMEOUT

The call timed out.

HOST_E_NOT_OWNER

The caller does not own the lock.

HOST_E_ABANDONED

An event was canceled while a blocked thread or fiber was waiting on it.

E_FAIL

An unknown catastrophic failure occurred. After a method returns E_FAIL, the CLR is no longer usable within the process. Subsequent calls to hosting methods return HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE.

Remarks

The BeginCustomDump method sets custom heap dump configuration. The ICLRErrorReportingManager::EndCustomDump Method method clears the custom heap dump configuration and frees any associated state. It should be called after the custom heap dump is complete.

Important

Failure to call EndCustomDump causes memory to leak.
