When the object file format is COFF32 (Windows NT), the assembler creates two symbols for a defined procedure. One symbol represents the procedure entry point and appears in the object file symbol table with the original symbol name preceded by a dot. For example, the label named foo becomes .foo in the object file symbol table. The other symbol represents the procedure label, also referred to as the function descriptor or PLabel, and is implicitly generated by the assembler using the original symbol name. Refer to the Software Conventions and Runtime Architecture Guide for more information about the procedure label.
