MetaDataTablesHdr(IRawFile, long)

Create a new Meta Data Tables Header instance from a byte array.

Declaration

public MetaDataTablesHdr(IRawFile peFile, long offset)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IRawFile	peFile	PE file which contains a MetaDataTablesHdr structure.
long	offset	Offset in the PE file, where the header starts.

ExtraData

When present in the PE file, gets or sets the extra 32-bits stored after the table row counts.

Declaration

public uint? ExtraData { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
uint?

Remarks

This is an undocumented feature of the CLR. See also: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/ce2165d8084cca98b95f5d8ff9386759bfd8c722/src/coreclr/md/runtime/metamodel.cpp#L290

HasExtraData

Gets a value indicating whether the tables stream header contains an additional 32-bits after the table row counts.

Declaration

public bool HasExtraData { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Remarks

This is an undocumented feature of the CLR. See also: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/ce2165d8084cca98b95f5d8ff9386759bfd8c722/src/coreclr/md/runtime/metamodel.cpp#L290

HeapSizes

The first 3 bits indicate the size of indexes into the streams. Bit 0 (0x01) set: Indexes into #String are 4 bytes wide. Bit 1 (0x02) set: Indexes into #GUID heap are 4 bytes wide. Bit 2 (0x04) set: Indexes into #Blob heap are 4 bytes wide. If bit not set: indexes into heap is 2 bytes wide.

The remainder bits are undocumented, but exist in the current implementation of the CLR. Bit 4 (0x40) set: Indicates that 4 extra bytes are stored in the tables stream header.

Declaration

public byte HeapSizes { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
byte
