/Gh (Enable _penter Hook Function)

The latest version of this topic can be found at -Gh (Enable _penter Hook Function).

Causes a call to the _penter function at the start of every method or function.

Syntax

/Gh

Remarks

The _penter function is not part of any library and it is up to you to provide a definition for _penter.

Unless you plan to explicitly call _penter, you do not need to provide a prototype. The function must appear as if it had the following prototype, and it must push the content of all registers on entry and pop the unchanged content on exit:

void __declspec(naked) _cdecl _penter( void );

This declaration is not available for 64-bit projects.

To set this compiler option in the Visual Studio development environment

Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see How to: Open Project Property Pages.
Click the C/C++ folder.
Click the Command Line property page.
Type the compiler option in the Additional Options box.

To set this compiler option programmatically

See AdditionalOptions.

Example

The following code, when compiled with /Gh, shows how _penter is called twice; once when entering function main and once when entering function x.

// Gh_compiler_option.cpp  
// compile with: /Gh  
// processor: x86  
#include <stdio.h>  
void x() {}  
  
int main() {  
   x();  
}  
  
extern "C" void __declspec(naked) _cdecl _penter( void ) {  
   _asm {  
      push eax  
      push ebx  
      push ecx  
      push edx  
      push ebp  
      push edi  
      push esi  
    }  
  
   printf_s("\nIn a function!");  
  
   _asm {  
      pop esi  
      pop edi  
      pop ebp  
      pop edx  
      pop ecx  
      pop ebx  
      pop eax  
      ret  
    }  
}

In a function!
