COM Signature

From textmgr.idl:

The string returned should be maintained by the completion set object, and the string should remain valid until final release, or until updated by calling UpdateCompletionStatus. GetImageList is used by the view to determine the list of images associated with a completion set.

Note
The string is typically created by the completion set object and the string must persist for the life of that object or until the Dismiss method is called. If you are implementing this interface in managed code and you need to have the string disposed of by the caller, implement the IVsCoTaskMemFreeMyStrings interface.
