Symbol loading - immediate or deferred

 

When converting program addresses to symbol names, you can choose immediate symbol loading, or defer loading until each symbol is needed.

 

•Use deferred symbol loading uses deferred symbol loading rather than 'all at once' (on by default)

 

Microsoft® recommend deferred symbol loading, claiming it is the fastest option. We give you the choice.
