dwNKDrWatsonSize (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

This variable specifies the amount of memory for the Windows CE Error Reporting dump area.

extern DWORD dwNKDrWatsonSize;

Parameters

None.

Return Values

None.

Remarks

There is a kernel implementation of a default RAM-based Windows CE Error Reporting dump. OEMs can use the default implementation by setting the size of the Windows CE Error Reporting dump area in the OEMInit function, as follows:

extern DWORD dwNKDrWatsonSize;
void OEMInit (void)
{
   dwNKDrWatsonSize = 0x20000
}

To implement the Windows CE Error Reporting dump in real persistent storage, which can persist the Windows CE Error Reporting dump even after a complete power loss, OEMs can override the following function pointers to the OEM-specific Windows CE Error Reporting support functions.

• pfnNKDrWatsonFlush
• pfnNKDrWatsonClear
• pfnNKDrWatsonRead
• pfnNKDrWatsonWrite

Note   The size of the dwNKDrWatsonSize variable also needs to be updated to reflect the size of the Windows CE Error Reporting dump area.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 5.0 and later.
Header: Developer-defined.
