DkmClrRuntimeInstance.GetIntrinsicAssemblyMetaDataBytesPtr(UInt32) Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Debugger.Clr
Assembly:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Debugger.Engine.dll

Get metadata for the "Intrinsic Methods Assembly". Intrinsic methods are special methods the debug engine understands when executing a CLR inspection query. Example: When evaluating "$exception" in the C# expression evaluator, the C# expression compiler will emit a call to GetException in the intrinsic methods assembly. Instead of executing the call normally, the debugger will instead simulate the method call and return the exception on the current thread.

This API was introduced in Visual Studio 14 RTM (DkmApiVersion.VS14RTM).
