Elements

SymTagNull Indicates that the symbol has no type.

SymTagExe Indicates that the symbol is an .exe file. There is only one SymTagExe symbol per symbol store. It serves as the global scope and does not have a lexical parent.

SymTagCompiland Indicates the compiland symbol for each compiland component of the symbol store. For native applications, SymTagCompiland symbols correspond to the object files linked into the image. For some kinds of Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) images, there is one compiland per class.

SymTagCompilandDetails Indicates that the symbol contains extended attributes of the compiland. Retrieving these properties may require loading compiland symbols.

SymTagCompilandEnv Indicates that the symbol is an environment string defined for the compiland.

SymTagFunction Indicates that the symbol is a function.

SymTagBlock Indicates that the symbol is a nested block.

SymTagData Indicates that the symbol is data.

SymTagAnnotation Indicates that the symbol is for a code annotation. Children of this symbol are constant data strings (SymTagData, LocIsConstant, DataIsConstant). Most clients ignore this symbol.

SymTagLabel Indicates that the symbol is a label.

SymTagPublicSymbol Indicates that the symbol is a public symbol. For native applications, this symbol is the COFF external symbol encountered while linking the image.

SymTagUDT Indicates that the symbol is a user-defined type (structure, class, or union).

SymTagEnum Indicates that the symbol is an enumeration.

SymTagFunctionType Indicates that the symbol is a function signature type.

SymTagPointerType Indicates that the symbol is a pointer type.

SymTagArrayType Indicates that the symbol is an array type.

SymTagBaseType Indicates that the symbol is a base type.

SymTagTypedef Indicates that the symbol is a typedef, that is, an alias for another type.

SymTagBaseClass Indicates that the symbol is a base class of a user-defined type.

SymTagFriend Indicates that the symbol is a friend of a user-defined type.

SymTagFunctionArgType Indicates that the symbol is a function argument.

SymTagFuncDebugStart Indicates that the symbol is the end location of the function's prologue code.

SymTagFuncDebugEnd Indicates that the symbol is the beginning location of the function's epilogue code.

SymTagUsingNamespace Indicates that the symbol is a namespace name, active in the current scope.

SymTagVTableShape Indicates that the symbol is a virtual table description.

SymTagVTable Indicates that the symbol is a virtual table pointer.

SymTagCustom Indicates that the symbol is a custom symbol and is not interpreted by DIA.

SymTagThunk Indicates that the symbol is a thunk used for sharing data between 16 and 32 bit code.

SymTagCustomType Indicates that the symbol is a custom compiler symbol.

SymTagManagedType Indicates that the symbol is in metadata.

SymTagDimension Indicates that the symbol is a FORTRAN multi-dimensional array.

SymTagCallSite Indicates that the symbol represents the call site.

SymTagInlineSite Indicates that the symbol represents the inline site.

SymTagBaseInterface Indicates that the symbol is a base interface.

SymTagVectorType Indicates that the symbol is a vector type.

SymTagMatrixType Indicates that the symbol is a matrix type.

SymTagHLSLType Indicates that the symbol is a High Level Shader Language type.

Remarks

All symbols within a debug file have an identifying tag that specifies the symbol's type.

The values in this enumeration are returned by a call to the IDiaSymbol::get_symTag method.

The values in this enumeration are passed to the following methods to limit the scope of the search to a specific symbol type:
