Common PE Types and Enumerations

#Philosophy The PE File format is expressed in terms of a number of common types. In code these are generally realized as a typedef or type alias of some sort to help ensure both clarity of code and correctness of use. This is preferred over use of raw primitive types directly as they convey no real meaning beyond their basic ranges.

##Table Index Many PE data structures store an index into a particular table index as a field. This table defines the type names used to store the index and which table it is an index into.

Name	underlying type	Description
StringTableIndex	unsigned 16 bit integer	Index into the string table (see: StringTables) for more details)
TypeDefTableIndex	unsigned 16 bit integer	Index into the type definition table
TypeRefTableIndex	unsigned 16 bit integer	Index into the type reference table
FieldDefTableIndex	unsigned 16 bit integer	Index into the field definition table
MethodDefTableIndex	unsigned 16 bit integer	Index into the method definition table
SigTableIndex	unsigned 16 bit integer	Index into the signature table (see: SignatureBlobs for more details)
