ICorProfilerEvents out of sequence.

Hi everybody. I am working on a profiling agent. Among other things it analyzes the active threads' status. To be successful it has to match thread names to IDs. Here is a problem though: When I run a simple test case that creates several threads and sets a name for each one, I get ThreadNameChanged notifications fired before ThreadCreated. Below is WinDbg output from breakpoints set for the appropriate events:

ModLoad: 000007fe`e57f0000 000007fe`e5aa4000   C:\vlh\Builds\X64\My\OciVOB\DevInstall_debug\X64\Purify.rsc
ThreadCreated 9021472
ThreadCreated 9130704
ModLoad: 000007fe`de930000 000007fe`dee1a000   mscorlib.dll
ModLoad: 00000000`04c70000 00000000`0515a000   mscorlib.dll
ModLoad: 000007fe`fb7b0000 000007fe`fb7bc000   C:\Windows\system32\VERSION.dll

ThreadNameChanged 86305504 Test_0

ThreadCreated 86305504
ThreadCreated 86386128
ThreadCreated 86389968
ThreadCreated 86393808
ThreadCreated 86397648
ThreadCreated 86358608
ThreadCreated 86361872
ThreadCreated 86365136
ThreadCreated 86368976
ThreadCreated 86372816

The problem is: I register thread information on ThreadCreated event and then update it as other events come in, so out-of-sequence events throw the analysis off.

Of course I can map thread IDs to thread information blocks and re-sequence the incoming events. But common, doesn't this violate the whole "Cause and effect" premise?

Regards,

Victor
