IDebugHostSymbol::GetContext method (dbgmodel.h)

  • Article

The GetContext method returns the context where the symbol is valid. While this will represent things such as the debug target and process/address space in which the symbol exists, it may not be as specific as a context retrieved from other means (e.g.: from an IModelObject).

Syntax

HRESULT GetContext(
  IDebugHostContext **context
);

Parameters

context

The host context in which the symbol is located will be returned here.

Return value

This method returns HRESULT that indicates success or failure.

Remarks

Code Sample

ComPtr<IDebugHostSymbol> spSymbol; /* get a symbol */

ComPtr<IDebugHostContext> spContext;
if (SUCCEEDED(spSymbol->GetContext(&spContext)))
{
    // spContext will contain the context that the symbol is within 
    // (e.g.: session, process)
}
