UpdateDebugInfoFile

The UpdateDebugInfoFile function takes the specified information and updates the corresponding fields in the symbol file.

BOOL UpdateDebugInfoFile(
  IN LPSTR ImageFileName,             
  IN LPSTR SymbolPath,                
  OUT LPSTR DebugFilePath,            
  IN OUT PIMAGE_NT_HEADERS NtHeaders  
);
 

Parameters

ImageFileName

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the image that is now out of date with respect to its symbol file.

SymbolPath

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the path in which to look for the symbol file.

DebugFilePath

Pointer to a buffer that receives the filename of the symbol file that was updated.

NtHeaders

Pointer to an IMAGE_NT_HEADERS structure that specifies the new NT header information.

Return Values

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

The UpdateDebugInfoFile function takes the information stored in the IMAGE_NT_HEADERS structure and updates the corresponding fields in the symbol file. Any time an image file is modified, this function should be called to keep the numbers in sync. Specifically, whenever an image checksum changes, the symbol file should be updated to match.
