The C++ Build Insights SDK is compatible with Visual Studio 2017 and later. To see the documentation for these versions, set the Visual Studio Version selector control for this article to Visual Studio 2017 or later. It's found at the top of the table of contents on this page.

The SYMBOL_NAME_DATA structure describes a compiler front-end symbol.

Syntax

typedef struct SYMBOL_NAME_DATA_TAG
{
    unsigned long long  Key;
    const char*         Name;

} SYMBOL_NAME_DATA;

Members

Name Description
Key The symbol's key. This value is unique within the trace being analyzed.
Name The symbol's name.

Remarks

Symbols coming from two different compiler front-end passes may have the same name but a different key. In this case, use symbol names to determine if two types are the same.
