IDebugControl2::SetInterrupt method (dbgeng.h)

The SetInterrupt method registers a user interrupt or breaks into the debugger.

Syntax

HRESULT SetInterrupt(
  [in] ULONG Flags
);

Parameters

[in] Flags

Specifies the type of interrupt to register. Flags can take one of the values listed in the following table.

Value Description
DEBUG_INTERRUPT_ACTIVE If the target is running, the engine will request a break into the debugger. This request might time out. For more information, see the "Remarks" section.

Otherwise, when the target is suspended, the engine will register a user interrupt.

DEBUG_INTERRUPT_PASSIVE The engine will register a user interrupt.
DEBUG_INTERRUPT_EXIT If there is currently a WaitForEvent call running, the engine will force it to return. If there are any debugger commands causing execution in the target -- for example, g (Go) and p (Step) -- the engine will force them to complete. This does not force a break into the debugger, so the target might not be suspended. In which case, the WaitForEvent call will return E_PENDING.

Otherwise, when the target is suspended, register a user interrupt.

Return value

This method may also return error values. See Return Values for more details.

Return code Description
S_OK
The method was successful.

Remarks

This method can be called at any time and from any thread. Once the interrupt has been registered, this method returns immediately.

If Flags is DEBUG_INTERRUPT_ACTIVE, and the interrupt times out, the engine will generate a synthetic exception event. This event will be sent to event callback's IDebugEventCallbacks::Exception method. The amount of time before the interrupt times out can be set using SetInterruptTimeout.
