Symbol Locations

Most symbols have a defined location within the image file. A symbol's location is specified with a value from the LocationType Enumeration enumeration. The symbol may support additional properties depending on its location.

The following table shows the most commonly used location types and their additional properties.

LocIsTLS	IDiaSymbol::get_addressSection IDiaSymbol::get_addressOffset
LocIsRegRel	IDiaSymbol::get_registerId IDiaSymbol::get_offset
LocIsThisRel	IDiaSymbol::get_offset
LocIsEnregistered	IDiaSymbol::get_registerId
