SymAddSourceStreamW function (dbghelp.h)

Adds the stream to the specified module for use by the Source Server.

Syntax

BOOL IMAGEAPI SymAddSourceStreamW(
  [in]           HANDLE  hProcess,
  [in]           ULONG64 Base,
                 PCWSTR  FileSpec,
  [in, optional] PBYTE   Buffer,
  [in]           size_t  Size
);

Parameters

[in] hProcess

A handle to a process. This handle must have been previously passed to the SymInitialize function.

[in] Base

The base address of the module.

FileSpec

A null-terminated string that contains the absolute or relative path to a file that contains the source indexing stream. Can be NULL if Buffer is not NULL.

[in, optional] Buffer

A buffer that contains the source indexing stream. Can be NULL if StreamFile is not NULL.

[in] Size

Size, in bytes, of the Buffer buffer.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE.

If the function fails, the return value is FALSE. To retrieve extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

SymAddSourceStream adds a stream of data formatted for use by the source Server to a designated module. The caller can pass the stream either as a buffer in the Buffer parameter or a file in the StreamFile parameter. If both parameters are filled, then the function uses the Buffer parameter. If both parameters are NULL, then the function returns FALSE and the last-error code is set to ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.

It is important to note that SymAddSourceStream does not add the stream to any corresponding PDB in order to persist the data. This function is used by those programmatically implementing their own debuggers in scenarios in which a PDB is not available.

Note

The dbghelp.h header defines SymAddSourceStream as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors.
