WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER_VALIDBITS union (ntddk.h)

  • Article

The WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER_VALIDBITS union describes which members of a WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER structure contain valid data.

Syntax

typedef union _WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER_VALIDBITS {
  struct {
    ULONG PlatformId : 1;
    ULONG Timestamp : 1;
    ULONG PartitionId : 1;
    ULONG Reserved : 29;
  } DUMMYSTRUCTNAME;
  ULONG  AsULONG;
} WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER_VALIDBITS, *PWHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER_VALIDBITS;

Members

DUMMYSTRUCTNAME

DUMMYSTRUCTNAME.PlatformId

A single bit that indicates that the PlatformId member of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER structure contains valid data.

DUMMYSTRUCTNAME.Timestamp

A single bit that indicates that the Timestamp member of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER structure contains valid data.

DUMMYSTRUCTNAME.PartitionId

A single bit that indicates that the PartitionId member of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER structure contains valid data.

DUMMYSTRUCTNAME.Reserved

Reserved for system use.

AsULONG

A ULONG representation of the contents of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER_VALIDBITS union.

Remarks

A WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER_VALIDBITS union is contained within the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER structure.

After the release of Windows Server 2008, it was discovered that the Timestamp and PlatformId members of the WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER_VALIDBITS union are defined in the incorrect order. This topic now defines the correct order for these members.

If you build your Windows hardware error architecture (WHEA) user-mode application or platform-specific hardware error driver (PSHED) plug-in with the header files from the Windows Server 2008 version of the WDK or Windows SDK, you will have trouble only if your application or PSHED plug-in accesses the Timestamp and PlatformId members directly when it processes the contents of a WHEA_ERROR_RECORD_HEADER structure. When you test these bits in the AsULONG member through the bitfield constants that are described in the following list, you will always produce the correct results.

This problem has been fixed in the Windows 7 version of the WDK and SDK.
