I just got a crash. The status bar said "VAX Parsing" and kept going from one file to another for a while. Then it stopped and the system was very slow to respond. I guess VAX was still doing stuff in the background. Then letters stopped rendering and I got a dialog box without any strings (I guess a GDI resource leak or something). Then VC2005 went belly up and closed.
And no I don't have any plugins other than VAX installed.
Cheers,
swine  |

Cases 2738 and 2845 are fixed in build 1538. |

umm - yeah there's a problem running multiple instances of the same project (different than the aforementioned bug) - case=2845 |

thats great to hear. i am plagued by this almost daily in 1535. it definitely has something to do with multiple instances of VS2005 running against the same projects (or at least that's what I think). |

Exit the IDE. Go into your VA installation directory. In the [vc6|vc7|vc8] subdir, delete all the Proj_* directories. We believe we've addressed the scenario in which this happens (a bit related to case=2738) for the next beta build. |

This is happening to me now with 1535. I've nver seen the problem before and I've used many VA versions. I'm not loading the same project in both instances nor opening another instance while re-parsing the symbols file (though I'm not sure how I'd know if this is going on or not.. does it stay in the toolbar the whole time?)
Please help if you've found a way to fix this! |

most odd. that does not seem to be that long an include path. certainly i have run tests with paths with a similar number of directories in them, on various versions of VA, without any problems.
hopefully 1530 will continue to run without any serious problems. but if you do run into anything then just report it, along with as many relevant details as possible, and i will try to reproduce the problem. |

O...
because 1530 can't work all the times,i had uninstalled it .
1446 had no problem with my project,but just now when i uninstalled 1446,and reinstall 1530 to reappear the problem,everything is ok. no memory lost,no parsing problem.
i don't know how this happen.
and the path is #include "../../_Include/NetStructTree/NetStructTree/DLL_NetStructTree.h"
but it's work fine now. |

can you post an actual path that seems to cause problems? this way i can be sure that when i set up a test here i am using a path that is long enough.
it could be the number of directories that matters, rather than the actual length of the path string, so we need to watch for that when setting up a test. |

in my case: when parsing some file,it run out my memory and finally windows report that virtall memory is very low.
it seems that the path of the file been parsing had some problem with va,if the path is too long,like #include "../../../some folder/another folder/into a folder/somexxx.h",then IDE died.
but when the path is short,it work fine.

FWIW: You likely have a ghost process from the IDE still running when you get this messages:
VA X: Waiting for the other instance of Visual Studio to flush the DB.
Wait for all processes to exit or use Task Manager to kill them. You don't need to reboot.
Other cases in which you get the message are:
-Running multiple instances of the IDE and opening the same project in each.
-Reparsing symbol databases of VA X in one IDE (at startup) and starting another IDE. |

We'll pick up this thread after 1531 is available. We don't yet have enough clues to isolate the culprit. |

*sigh* i was hoping the handle count might have been connected to some specific refactoring operation, which might have helped to locate the bug in the code. |
| swinefeaster |
Posted - Jul 18 2006 : 7:00:33 PM
yes i was monitoring the handle count
i cannot use the refactoring features much at all because there's still stuff you guys need to do to get the working right ;)
nothing odd i know about... actually today it has been behaving. right now i have 3 instances of VS2005 open and my handle counts are at 1788, 1188, and 944. that still seems kinda high, but so far it has not been fatal. |

*um* the handle count problem is supposed to be fixed in 1530, and other users have reported that it is fixed for them. since there are no other plugin's is there anything "odd" about your machine that might give us a clue?
are you making very heavy use of the refactoring features?
how are you monitoring the handle count? or more accurately do you see any "pattern", does anything you do in the IDE seem to cause the handle count to jump? |

whenever i run VS2005 i get my handle count growing and growing... it's getting worse now that i'm writing lots of new classes. i have to keep restarting my workspace every hour, which kinda sucks...
please fix this one --- i don't wanna go back to 1446. :( |

i will ask support about this one. i often run 2 copies of VS2005 at the same time, and occasionally 3 copies, and i have never had this problem. not that this really proves anything. |

For the record, I've seen this before as well with 1530. I usually have 2 instances of VS running. I wonder if that has something to do with it. |

reproduced it, sent an avi to feline |

ok now i restarted and the status bar says "VA X: Waiting for the other instance of Visual Studio to flush the DB..." and I just closed my other instances...
hmm perhaps i will reboot. |
