ARGX_SECTION_DATA structure

A structure corresponding to the ArgX section in the ArgX Specification.

Syntax

#define ARGX_MAGIC      ((DWORD)0x00005841)
#define ARGX_MAGIC_INIT ((DWORD)0x00007861)

typedef struct {
  DWORD   dwMagic;
  DWORD   dwArgc;
  LPWSTR *pszArgv;
} ARGX_SECTION_DATA;

Members

dwMagic

In the executable image, should be set to ARGX_MAGIC_INIT; if ArgX protocol is in use, this will be updated to ARGX_MAGIC.

dwArgc

A count of the arguments in the argument vector. In the executable image, should be set to zero.

pszArgv

A pointer to the argument vector. In the executable image, should be set to zero.

Remarks

You most likely do not need to use this structure directly; instead, any call to ArgxGetArguments will automatically result in an appropriately initialised copy of this structure ending up in the “ArgX” section in your executable image. This is done by the code at the top of src/ArgxGetArguments.cpp:

#pragma section("ArgX", read, write)
namespace {
  __declspec(allocate("ArgX")) ARGX_SECTION_DATA argxData = { ARGX_MAGIC_INIT, 0, 0 };
}
