The symbols window provides a breakdown of the address, size and type of each global symbol of each executable program that the project explorer is managing. You can select the specific executable to view using a combo box.

The symbols window also provides you with a facility to show the list of sections that are in the executable together with their sizes and types.

You can set watchpoints and breakpoints from the symbols window.

When you rebuild an executable the symbols window is automatically updated so you can see the effect your program changes are making to the memory layout of your program.
