Expression Evaluation Interfaces
The following are the Expression Evaluation Interfaces for the Visual Studio Debugging SDK.
Discussion
These interfaces are used to evaluate expressions in a call stack during break mode. They are implemented only for common language run-time expression evaluators (EE).
Each interface in the table shows the component that can implement it from the following list:
Debug Engine (DE)
Expression Evaluator (EE)
Visual Studio (VS)
Interface |
Implemented by |
Description |
|---|---|---|
EE |
Represents a numeric alias for a variable. |
|
EE |
Represents a numeric alias for a variable, and enables an expression evaluator (EE) to obtain the application domain for the alias. |
|
EE |
Represents an array object. |
|
EE |
Represents a managed array object, and allows an expression evaluator (EE) to determine the base index (lower bounds) for the array. |
|
DE |
Represents a binder that binds debug symbols to actual addresses in memory. |
|
DE |
Same as the IDebugBinder interface but provides access to types, aliases, and custom visualizers. |
|
EE |
Represents the expression evaluator. |
|
EE |
Represents an enhanced version of an expression evaluator (EE). |
|
EE |
Represents an expression evaluator (EE) with an enhanced parser tree. |
|
EE |
Represents a function. |
|
EE |
Represents a function and enhances the IDebugFunctionObject interface. |
|
DE |
Enables an expression evaluator (EE) to display a message in the debugger's output window. |
|
EE |
Represents a managed code object. |
|
EE |
Base interface that represents any symbol bound to a memory address. |
|
EE |
Same as the IDebugObject interface but provides access to additional information. |
|
EE |
Represents a parsed expression ready to be evaluated. |
|
EE |
Represents a pointer. |
|
EE |
Represents a pointer in a parse tree, and extends the IDebugPointerObject interface. |
|
EE |
Provides the ability to modify a type's value through a type visualizer. |
|
VS |
Provides access to custom viewers and type visualizers. |
|
VS |
Provides the ability to create an IEEVisualizerService object. |
|
EE |
Represents a collection of IDebugObject objects. |
