This structure describes a debugging event.

Syntax

typedef struct _DEBUG_EVENT { 
  DWORD dwDebugEventCode; 
  DWORD dwProcessId; 
  DWORD dwThreadId; 
  union { 
    EXCEPTION_DEBUG_INFO Exception; 
    CREATE_THREAD_DEBUG_INFO CreateThread; 
    CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_INFO CreateProcessInfo; 
    EXIT_THREAD_DEBUG_INFO ExitThread; 
    EXIT_PROCESS_DEBUG_INFO ExitProcess; 
    LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_INFO LoadDll; 
    UNLOAD_DLL_DEBUG_INFO UnloadDll; 
    OUTPUT_DEBUG_STRING_INFO DebugString; 
    RIP_INFO RipInfo; 
  } u; 
} DEBUG_EVENT;

Members

  • dwDebugEventCode
    Debugging event code that identifies the type of debugging event.

    The following table shows the possible values.

    Value Description

    EXCEPTION_DEBUG_EVENT

    Reports an exception debugging event.

    The value of u.Exception specifies an EXCEPTION_DEBUG_INFO structure.

    CREATE_THREAD_DEBUG_EVENT

    Reports a create-thread debugging event.

    The value of u.CreateThread specifies a CREATE_THREAD_DEBUG_INFO structure.

    CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT

    Reports a create-process debugging event.

    The value of u.CreateProcessInfo specifies a CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_INFO structure.

    EXIT_THREAD_DEBUG_EVENT

    Reports an exit-thread debugging event.

    The value of u.ExitThread specifies an EXIT_THREAD_DEBUG_INFO structure.

    EXIT_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT

    Reports an exit-process debugging event. The value of u.ExitProcess specifies an EXIT_PROCESS_DEBUG_INFO structure.

    LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT

    Reports a load-DLL debugging event.

    The value of u.LoadDll specifies a LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_INFO structure.

    UNLOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT

    Reports an unload-DLL debugging event.

    The value of u.UnloadDll specifies an UNLOAD_DLL_DEBUG_INFO structure.

    OUTPUT_DEBUG_STRING_EVENT

    Reports an output-debugging-string debugging event.

    The value of u.DebugString specifies an OUTPUT_DEBUG_STRING_INFO structure.

  • dwProcessId
    Identifier of the process where the debugging event occurred.

    A debugger uses this value to locate the debugger's per-process structure.

    These values are not necessarily small integers that can be used as table indexes.

  • dwThreadId
    Identifier of the thread where the debugging event occurred.

    A debugger uses this value to locate the debugger's per-thread structure.

    These values are not necessarily small integers that can be used as table indexes.

  • u
    Additional information relating to the debugging event.

    This union assumes the type and value appropriate to the type of debugging event, as described in the dwDebugEventCode member.

Remarks

If the WaitForDebugEvent function succeeds, it fills in the members of a DEBUG_EVENT structure.
