dbghelp api and enumerating object files.

[bob]

Is it possible to enumerate object files for a given binary + PDB.

You can enumerate symbols, source files, what about object files?

Thanks

I don't know how to do it with DbgHelp (it looks like it is not possible),
but you can do it with DIA.

There is Compiland symbol (child of the global scope Exe symbol),
which contains the needed information:

You can start with Dia2Dump sample (DumpLex function in particular,
plus Dump function until the place where it obtains the "global scope" symbol)

Am I correct in assuming, based upon a search of MSDN, that the DIA is
only available to Enterprise VS.NET users? Is it on any version of MSDN?

From DbgHelp, call SymSearch with SymTagCompiland and you will get the
objects enumerated...

rc = SymSearch(hp, base, 0, SymTagCompiland, param, 0, cbEnumObjs, NULL,
0);

Yes, it works. Thanks!
