- reader
- MetadataReader

- genericContext
- TGenericContext
The context that was passed to the signature decoder.
- handle
- TypeSpecificationHandle
The type specification handle.
- rawTypeKind
- Byte
The kind of the type, as specified in the signature. To interpret this value, use ResolveSignatureTypeKind(MetadataReader, EntityHandle, Byte).

When the signature comes from a WinMD file, additional processing is needed to determine whether the target type is a value type or a reference type.
