I was expecting the SymbolList class to be some sort of array of symbols (like stringlist), but it looks a bit more complicated:
This isn't really self-explanatory:
| Code: | | addSymbol(modulename, searchkey, address, symbolsize, skipAddressToSymbolLookup OPTIONAL, extradata OPTIONAL) |
what is modulename? the symbol isn't necessary in a static address.
what is searchkey,symbolize,skipAddressToSymbolLookup?
registerSymbol only takes 3 arguments (one optional) : | Code: | | registerSymbol(symbolname, address, OPTIONAL donotsave) |

You're thinking about it incorrectly.
A SymbolList object is separate from the userdefined symbols. Two SymbolList objects are separate from each other. Add a symbol to one, and it's not automatically registered, nor is it added to all the other SymbolList objects.
It's like how an AA script keeps a local copy of some symbols regardless if you register them or not (i.e. how you can dealloc(...) something in [DISABLE] without registering it in [ENABLE]). So, all you have to be concerned with are the functions register() and unregister(). Everything else doesn't matter.
IMO the work required for this outweighs the benefits of it.

| Code: | thelist = createSymbolList()
--skipAddressToSymbolLookup set to false
thelist.addSymbol('importantPart', 'tutImportantPart', 0x0054DD20,
0x24)
--skipAddressToSymbolLookup set to true
thelist.addSymbol('importantPartSkipped', 'tutImportantPartSkipped', 0x0054DD45,
0x5, true)
thelist.register() |
And then you will see this:

Thanks for the example.
The call to register did not add any symbol to the userdefined symbols list, so unregisterSymbol() probably won't unregister it (there is still the unregister() method).
It's possible to do it this way: redefine the register() method (in the metatable) to get the symbollist (as self), and add it to a table that is for symbollists only (not the regular table).
| Code: | | list:register();-- or list.register(list) |
instead of
when the button is clicked, traverse the new table, call the method unregister() on every symbollist, and clear the table.
Not sure if it's necessary because symbollists are uncommon in scripts.
