Retrieves the number of bits or bytes or number of scalable registers of memory used by the object represented by this symbol.

Syntax

HRESULT get_length ( 
   ULONGLONG* pRetVal
);

Parameters

pRetVal

[out] Returns the number of bytes or bits or number of scalable registers of memory used by the object represented by this symbol.

Return Value

If successful, returns S_OK; otherwise, returns S_FALSE or an error code.

Remarks

If the LocationType Enumeration of the symbol is LocIsBitField, the length returned by this method is in bits; otherwise, the length is in bytes for all other location types.

If the basicType of the symbol is btVector, the length returned by this method is number of scalable registers.

Example

IDiaSymbol* pSymbol;
ULONGLONG   length;
pSymbol->get_length( &length );
