Methods

The following table shows the methods of IDiaSession.

Method Description
IDiaSession::get_loadAddress Retrieves the load address for the executable file that corresponds to the symbols in this symbol store. This is the same value that was passed to the put_loadAddress method.
IDiaSession::put_loadAddress Sets the load address for the executable file that corresponds to the symbols in this symbol store. Note: It is important to call this method when you get an IDiaSession object and before you start using the object.

Remarks

It is important to call the IDiaSession::put_loadAddress method after creating the IDiaSession object — and the value passed to the put_loadAddress method must be non-zero — for any virtual address (VA) properties of symbols to be accessible. The load address comes from whatever program loaded the executable being debugged. For example, you can call the Win32 function GetModuleInformation to retrieve the load address for the executable, given a handle to the executable.

Example

This example shows how to obtain the IDiaSession interface as part of a general initialization of the Debug Interface Access (DIA) SDK.

CComPtr<IDiaDataSource> pSource;
ComPtr<IDiaSession> psession;

void InitializeDIA(const char *szFilename)
{
    HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance( CLSID_DiaSource,
                                   NULL,
                                   CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
                                   __uuidof( IDiaDataSource ),
                                  (void **) &pSource);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    {
        Fatal("Could not CoCreate CLSID_DiaSource. Register msdia80.dll." );
    }
    wchar_t wszFilename[ _MAX_PATH ];
    mbstowcs( wszFilename,
              szFilename,
              sizeof( wszFilename )/sizeof( wszFilename[0] ) );
    if ( FAILED( pSource->loadDataFromPdb( wszFilename ) ) )
    {
        if ( FAILED( pSource->loadDataForExe( wszFilename, NULL, NULL ) ) )
        {
            Fatal( "loadDataFromPdb/Exe" );
        }
    }
    if ( FAILED( pSource->openSession( &psession ) ) )
    {
        Fatal( "openSession" );
    }
}
