```
public class HighExternalSymbol
extends HighSymbol
```
A symbol, within a decompiler model, for a function without a body in the current Program. The Address of this symbol corresponds to the code location that CALL instructions refer to. In anticipation of a (not fully resolved) thunking mechanism, this symbol also has a separate resolve Address, which is where the decompiler expects to retrieve the detailed Function object.
