UpdateDebugInfoFile

The UpdateDebugInfoFile function uses the specified information to update the corresponding fields in the symbol file.

This function has been superseded by the UpdateDebugInfoFileEx function. Use UpdateDebugInfoFileEx to verify the checksum value.

BOOL UpdateDebugInfoFile(
  PSTR ImageFileName,             
  PSTR SymbolPath,                
  PSTR DebugFilePath,            
  PIMAGE_NT_HEADERS NtHeaders  
);

Parameters

ImageFileName

[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the image that is now out of date with respect to its symbol file.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

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

DebugFilePath

[out] Pointer to a buffer that receives the name of the symbol file that was updated.

NtHeaders

[in] Pointer to an IMAGE_NT_HEADERS structure that specifies the new 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.

Requirements

  Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows NT 4.0 or later.
  Windows 95/98: Requires Windows 95 or later. Available as a redistributable for Windows 95.
  Header: Declared in Imagehlp.h.
  Library: Use Imagehlp.lib.
