The C++ Build Insights SDK is compatible with Visual Studio 2017 and later. To see the documentation for these versions, set the Visual Studio Version selector control for this article to Visual Studio 2017 or later. It's found at the top of the table of contents on this page.

The ANALYSIS_DESCRIPTOR structure is used with the AnalyzeA and AnalyzeW functions. It describes how an Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) trace should be analyzed.

Syntax

typedef struct ANALYSIS_DESCRIPTOR_TAG
{
    unsigned                NumberOfPasses;
    ANALYSIS_CALLBACKS      Callbacks;
    void*                   Context;
} ANALYSIS_DESCRIPTOR;

Members

Name Description
NumberOfPasses The number of analysis passes that should be done over the ETW trace.
Callbacks An ANALYSIS_CALLBACKS object that specifies which functions to call during the analysis session.
Context A user-provided context that is passed as an argument to all callback functions specified in Callbacks

Remarks

The Callbacks structure only accepts pointers to non-member functions. You can get around this limitation by setting Context to an object pointer. This object pointer will be passed as an argument to all your non-member callback functions. Use this pointer to call member functions from within your non-member callback functions.
