PWINDBG_GET_THREAD_CONTEXT_ROUTINE function

The PWINDBG_GET_THREAD_CONTEXT_ROUTINE (GetContext) function implements the functionality that is similar to the Microsoft Win32 GetThreadContext routine. It returns the context of the process being debugged.

Syntax

ULONG GetContext(
  _In_  ULONG    Target,
  _Out_ PCONTEXT lpContext,
  _In_  ULONG    cbSizeOfContext
);

Parameters

• Target [in]
  User mode: Specifies the thread ID of the thread being debugged.

  Kernel Mode: Specifies the processor number of the processor being debugged.

• lpContext [out]
  Points to the address of a context structure that receives the appropriate context of the process being debugged. The context structure is highly machine-specific.

• cbSizeOfContext [in]
  Specifies the size of the context structure.

Return value

If the routine succeeds, the return value is TRUE; otherwise, it is FALSE.
