Function Documentation

VOID EFIAPI _ModuleEntryPoint

(

IN VOID *

HobStart

)

The entry point of PE/COFF Image for the DXE Core.

This function is the entry point for the DXE Core. This function is required to call ProcessModuleEntryPointList() and ProcessModuleEntryPointList() is never expected to return. The DXE Core is responsible for calling ProcessLibraryConstructorList() as soon as the EFI System Table and the image handle for the DXE Core itself have been established. If ProcessModuleEntryPointList() returns, then ASSERT() and halt the system.

Parameters

HobStart

Pointer to the beginning of the HOB List passed in from the PEI Phase.

VOID EFIAPI EfiMain

(

IN VOID *

HobStart

)

Required by the EBC compiler and identical in functionality to _ModuleEntryPoint().

This function is required to call _ModuleEntryPoint() passing in HobStart.

Parameters

HobStart

Pointer to the beginning of the HOB List passed in from the PEI Phase.

VOID EFIAPI ProcessLibraryConstructorList	(	IN EFI_HANDLE	ImageHandle,
		IN EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *	SystemTable
	)

Autogenerated function that calls the library constructors for all of the module's dependent libraries.

This function must be called by _ModuleEntryPoint(). This function calls the set of library constructors for the set of library instances that a module depends on. This includes library instances that a module depends on directly and library instances that a module depends on indirectly through other libraries. This function is autogenerated by build tools and those build tools are responsible for collecting the set of library instances, determine which ones have constructors, and calling the library constructors in the proper order based upon each of the library instances own dependencies.

Parameters

ImageHandle	The image handle of the DXE Core.
SystemTable	A pointer to the EFI System Table.

VOID EFIAPI ProcessModuleEntryPointList

(

IN VOID *

HobStart

)

Autogenerated function that calls a set of module entry points.

This function must be called by _ModuleEntryPoint(). This function calls the set of module entry points. This function is autogenerated by build tools and those build tools are responsible for collecting the module entry points and calling them in a specified order.

Parameters

HobStart

Pointer to the beginning of the HOB List passed in from the PEI Phase.

Variable Documentation

VOID* gHobList

Global variable that contains a pointer to the Hob List passed into the DXE Core entry point.
