Detailed Description

Accesses the memory of another Mach task.

Member Function Documentation

Initialize()

bool crashpad::ProcessMemoryMac::Initialize

(

task_t

task

)

Initializes this object to read the memory of a task with the provided task port.

This method must be called successfully prior to calling any other method in this class.

Parameters

[in]

task

A send right to the target task's task port. This object does not take ownership of the send right.

Returns

true on success, false on failure with a message logged.

ReadMapped()

std::unique_ptr< ProcessMemoryMac::MappedMemory > crashpad::ProcessMemoryMac::ReadMapped	(	mach_vm_address_t	address,
		size_t	size
	)		const

Maps memory from the target task into the current task.

This interface is an alternative to Read() that does not require the caller to provide a buffer to fill. This avoids copying memory, which can offer a performance improvement.

Parameters

[in]	address	The address, in the target task’s address space, of the memory region to map.
[in]	size	The size, in bytes, of the memory region to map.

Returns

On success, a MappedMemory object that provides access to the data requested. On faliure, nullptr, with a warning logged. Failures can occur, for example, when encountering unmapped or unreadable pages.
