I am using the following IDC script in IDA:

#include <idc.idc> static main() { for (i=0; i<10; i++) { PauseProcess(); GetDebuggerEvent(WFNE_SUSP, -1); Message("%s\n", GetFunctionName(ScreenEA())); ResumeProcess(); //Sleep(50); //does not work, see remarks below //GetDebuggerEvent(WFNE_SUSP, 1); //same } } 

The main idea is to pause/resume process at regular intervals and check what is the current function (for profiling purposes).

What I am searching for is a IDC function that will pause the script for a given amount of time (eg : 50ms) while the process will be still running. A function that would resume debugged process execution from a suspended state and run code for a given amount of time will be OK too.

What I have tried so far :

• Sleep(time) : does not works as expected as it stop the execution of the debugged process as well (which is not what I want). I would like process to continue running while script is waiting.

• GetDebuggerEvent(WFNE_SUSP, 1) : idea is wait for suspend event (which will never happen) and use timeout (set to 1 second here). It works but the issue is time is specified in seconds which is too slow (it would have been OK if I could specify it in milliseconds).
