Debugger Extension (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

You can develop a debugger extension dynamic-link library (DLL) to extend the functionality of the kernel debugger that is provided with Microsoft® Platform Builder.

By developing a debugger extension, you can

  • Create debugging commands tailored to your specific need.
  • Enhance the debugging capabilities of the kernel debugger to more effectively find and remove errors in your code.

You can use a command in a debugger extension in almost the same way that you use a standard debugger command.

The difference between a command in a debugger extension and a standard debugger command is that the standard debugger command is part of the machine language for the debugger, while the debugger extension command is exposed by a DLL distinct from the debugger.

For information about developing and building a debugger extension, see Debugger Extension Development.

You can also load a debugger extension provided by a third party. For information about loading a debugger extension DLL, see Loading a Debugging Extension.
