I have this code that I need to use, but what holds me back is that here it says that TerminateThread Applies to: desktop apps only.
I wonder if I can use this code inside azure Worker role, specifically inside waiishost.exe
process that I use to run the Worker thread in?
[DllImport("Library.dll")]
public static extern void InfiniteLoop();
[DllImport("kernel32")]
private static extern int CreateThread(
IntPtr lpThreadAttributes,
UInt32 dwStackSize,
IntPtr lpStartAddress,
IntPtr param,
UInt32 dwCreationFlags,
UInt32 lpThreadId
);
[DllImport("Kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern int TerminateThread(int hThread);
[DllImport("Kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern int GetLastError();
private delegate int InvokeInfiniteLoop(IntPtr args);
static void Main(string[] args)
{
InvokeInfiniteLoop invokeInfiniteLoop = (args1) =>
{
InfiniteLoop();
return 0;
};
IntPtr infiniteLoopPtr = Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(invokeInfiniteLoop);
int handle = CreateThread(IntPtr.Zero, 0, infiniteLoopPtr, IntPtr.Zero, 0, 0);
Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
int terminated = TerminateThread(handle);
Console.WriteLine(terminated);
}
EDIT:
After further research looks like(as I suspected from the beginning) that this workaround is completely wrong. Creating and Terminating the unmanaged code will leak the stack. I will have to create a separate executable that will be terminated by Process.Kill();
