Dunno if this is just me or this is for real, but if someone tries to google for some kind of example of symbol lister it will endup in dead-end (maybe I should work on my google skils :devil, anyway, I spent last 2 days playing and figuring these symbols (great MS simply points in MSDN to PDB documentation... where is that thing!??!!?), to write this enum, struct, symbol lister and decided to share my source so there can be at least one refference on how to list and parse symbols...

I finally managed to look at your code... Nice stuff...
Have also a look anyway at these juicy links:

http://pdbdump.sourceforge.net/ (by Andrew de Quincey) someway outdated

http://www.debuginfo.com/examples/dbghelpexamples.html (by Oleg Starodumov) very exhaustive

http://www.debuginfo.com/tools/typeinfodump.html (again by Oleg Starodumov)

http://undocumented.rawol.com/win_pdbx.zip (by Sven B. Schreiber) and everyone should not miss to download from that site and read his great book "Undocumented Windows 2000 Secrets", now free...

Best regards, bilbo

I can also really recommend their entire CRCETL parent category in general, which contains some more goodies of this kind:

For example the following two, if you haven't already seen them before:
