xMRi	Posted - Dec 23 2010 : 02:29:56 AM Hi! I have a project with standard header and source files. I have 2 different directories: c:\\LibX\\Include (containing headers) c:\\LibX\\Source (containing library code) Both are not part of the project itself. They are compiled by a separate project LibX. In the projects them self they are includes via the compiler settings for other include file path and a linker library. Because they are part of nearly every other project I added the files to the "Other Source Files" in VAX. Pressing ALT+G for a function in the lib moves me to the header location. OK! But pressing ALT+G again doesn't move me to the source. Why? Or give me a hint how to move to the sources of my lib. PS: I just remember that I got it working in some way.

feline	Posted - Jan 24 2011 : 12:19:10 PM I was not aware of this, thank you for the information. I have added it to the FAQ on collecting a mini dump, in case it is of use to anyone.
xMRi	Posted - Jan 13 2011 : 04:23:04 AM Just a tip: You can setup a local machine Windows Vista and Windows 7 to save always a crash dumps. Might be helpful for dvelopment. All you need are some settings in the WER of Windows. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Windows Error Reporting\\LocalDumps] "DumpType"=dword:00000001 "DumpCount"=dword:00000010 "DumpFolder"=hex(2):25,00,4c,00,4f,00,43,00,41,00,4c,00,41,00,50,00,50,00,44,\ 00,41,00,54,00,41,00,25,00,5c,00,43,00,72,00,61,00,73,00,68,00,44,00,75,00,\ 6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00 DumpFolder simply contains the text: %LOCALAPPDATA%\\CrashDumps It is documented here: Collecting User-Mode Dumps http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb787181(VS.85).aspx
xMRi	Posted - Jan 11 2011 : 10:32:36 AM Just sent a link to a crash dump.
feline	Posted - Jan 07 2011 : 11:57:31 AM Can you please try to grab a mini dump next time the IDE crashes? If so, can you please send it to us, and we can see if VA seems to be a factor here. Do you have any other IDE plugins / extensions installed? I don't know if the crash is related to the alt-g problem or not, but if the crash is a VA problem then we need to look into it. This FAQ offers some information on grabbing / saving out mini dump files: http://docs.wholetomato.com?W303 Please submit the files via the form: http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up.
xMRi	Posted - Jan 07 2011 : 01:36:31 AM No it never crashes when I exit. In the past weeks I usually get a crash when I navigate though the source. Especially when navigating away with the cursor up/down keys from an incomplete statement (syntactical wrong/incomplete). I can not repro this and I can not say if VAX or VS-2010 is the reason. It is somehow annoying.
accord	Posted - Jan 06 2011 : 4:03:03 PM Hard to tell, but a crash can indeed lead to database corruption. Do you get a crash on every VS exit?
xMRi	Posted - Jan 05 2011 : 05:01:03 AM The problem just reoccured. Nothing changed in the VAX settings. I fixed it with a Rebuild of the symbol databases and restarting VS. What may be the reason? May a crash of VS leave the DB corrupted?
feline	Posted - Jan 03 2011 : 4:14:55 PM I am glad the problem is now fixed for you, and I hope it stays fixed.
xMRi	Posted - Jan 03 2011 : 04:54:20 AM Strange. I cant repro it now. I changed the pathes again and I added both lib pathes to "Other include files". Maybe before I just used "Stable include" files for the header.
feline	Posted - Dec 23 2010 : 1:02:11 PM Have you added both the Include and Source directories to "Other Source Files"? I assume both, but worth checking just to be sure. Are the .cpp files in the Source directory, or are they in sub-directories within Source? Are the source files using a standard, known file extension?
accord	Posted - Dec 23 2010 : 1:01:45 PM >Because they are part of nearly every other project I added >the files to the "Other Source Files" in VAX. Have you added the c:\\LibX\\Source directory as well? If yes, you should be seeing the files from this directory, in the "Open files in Solution" dialog (alt+shift+o) Do you see these files? Alternatively (should not use both), you can turn on the following option: VA Options -> File handling -> if Solution is not empty In this case, VA will parse all other files in the same dir. when you open a file.
