I do not see the limitation you have described in Thread::StackWalkFramesEx. Can you please elaborate on where you have found the limitation?
All static variables are reported to GC through handles. SystemDomain::CreatePreallocatedExceptions is an example how to create "static variables" holding references to objects within the unmanaged part of EE. BTW: The same rule applies to static variables in managed code. The handles for static variables in managed code are allocated in MethodTable::InstantiateStaticHandles. -Jan This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of the Rotor Shared Source CLI implementation [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Albert Miranda Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 2:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET-ROTOR] Especial EE Threads Looking through the function StackWalkFrames we'ver realized the scan can only be performed by the GC thread itself or by so called SpecialEEThreads. We've created a thread that must perform this scan but cannot do so because it is not a special thread. How can we identify our thread as one? And changing the topic, what happens to static variables within the GC? Are there static variables within EE, because we haven't found any trace of them. Thank you for your time.
