INFO: CLR Profiling Services Problems

This article was previously published under Q309551

SUMMARY

This article provides a list of known problems with the Common Language Runtime (CLR) Profiling Services.

MORE INFORMATION

The following problems may occur when you use the CLR Profiling Services:
  • The ObjectAllocatedbyClass callback provides only an approximation of the number of objects that are allocated between two consecutive garbage collections.For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    311273  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=311273/EN-US/ ) ObjectAllocatedByClass Callback Does Not Return the Exact Number of Objects Allocated
  • A probe function that is injected by the profiler may cause an unhandled exception if the miPreserveSig flag is not set.For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    310827  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=310827/EN-US/ ) PRB: Probe Function Injected by Profiler May Cause Unhandled Exception
  • The profiler may receive a just-in-time (JIT) compilation event but not a function enter event if the function is executed on context-bound objects.For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    310828  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=310828/EN-US/ ) PRB: JIT-Compilation Event Received for Method but Not FunctionEnter Event
  • A method whose ID is passed to an UnmangedToManagedTransition callback with the flag COR_PRF_TRANSITION_CALL may not be just-in-time compiled.For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    312222  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=312222/EN-US/ ) PRB: Profiler Does Not Receive JIT-Compilation Notifications for Method with Reason COR_PRF_TRANSITION_RETURN
  • A method whose ID is passed to a ManagedToUnmanagedTransition callback with the reason COR_PRF_TRANSITION_RETURN may be a "stub" function, and therefore the profiler will not receive just-in-time compilation and function enter/leave events for this method.For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    312220  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=312220/EN-US/ ) Function Passed to UnmanagedToManagedTransition Callback Is Not JIT-Compiled
  • The profiler may not receive transition-related notifications in some Interop scenarios. For example, no UnmanagedToManagedTransition will be received if CoCreateInstance results in a managed object.For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    312225  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=312225/EN-US/ ) BUG: You Do Not Receive Transition-Related Notifications in Interop Scenarios
  • The profiler may receive an AssemblyUnloadFinished notification before the AssemblyLoadFinished notification if the CLR aborts the loading of the assembly.For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    310832  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=310832/EN-US/ ) PRB: You Receive the AssemblyUnloadFinished Notification Before the AssemblyLoadFinished Notification
  • SetILInstrumentedCodeMap may cause an access violation if it is called from a JitCompilationStarted callback with the fJitStart flag set to "FALSE".For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    310833  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=310833/EN-US/ ) SetILInstrumentedCodeMap May Cause Access Violation
  • The .NET Profiling Service's remoting callbacks are unreliable. They may provide inaccurate information or cause the application that is being profiled to stop responding.For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
