Same for me in VS.NET 2003:
1) switch solutions with the start page -> OK
2) switch solutions from the "Recent Project" menu -> CRASH |

BTW: no other add-ins installed except VAX.
I checked this behaviour with VAX 1221 -> NO crash. |

Crashes for me in the same way.
When I debug it, it comes to line 239 in getcwd.c:/*
* Place the current directory string into the user buffer
*/
return _tcscpy(p, dirbuf); Here's my info:

Just an aside Larry, are you familiar with symserv? (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/ddk/debugging/symbols.mspx)
Works fine with VS (though no progress UI, which makes the first few debugging sessions rather painful), but absolutely fantastic once you've got the symbols locally.
Once you've got used to stack traces with all the OS symbols, you'll never go back...

| And, you can even put your own symbols on a local server, which makes debugging for large projects and teams very nice. Everybody gets the same symbols, from the same location without having to recompile the whole project locally, or messing around with pdb/map files. |

| It would be nice to have at least public symbols for VAX for beta so when we submit callstacks they have correct VAX symbol info |

| I encounter a crash in the same exact spot when I start a debugging session sometimes. So probably not related to opening a solution, just a symptom. |

Just an aside Larry, are you familiar with symserv? (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/ddk/debugging/symbols.mspx)
Works fine with VS (though no progress UI, which makes the first few debugging sessions rather painful), but absolutely fantastic once you've got the symbols locally.
Once you've got used to stack traces with all the OS symbols, you'll never go back...
Interested!
Could you explain which steps are necessary to get it to work under VS .NET?
By eMail would be okay ( [email protected] ), if no public interest exists...

Public interest definitely exists - I'm not sure I'm doing this right...
willdean, thanks for posting that link, it looks very
interesting. I've managed to download the 172 Meg file (was that
necessary, I wonder? Seems like it supposed to do that automagically
for me as needed, if I'm reading it correctly.) I'll try working
with it via VS later on (today is "build day").

No, the whole point is that you don't need to download the 172MB file. Although you do end up with 100's of MB of symbols eventually, paricularly if you do km development and receive crash dumps from all sorts of OSs. The problem will all the old schemes of 172Mb files and CDs of symbols is that it was always impossible to actually get a set of symbols which matched the DLLS on any real world, patched, machine. My symbol cache has half a dozen different versions of the symbols for some files.
I'm not sure that you need to actually download anything to get it to work with VS2003, but with earlier VS versions, you needed to download the latest WinDBG (pretty much from the link I posted), and then use its symserv.dll file (and dbghelp.dll, I think.)
ISTR that with VS6 you really did have to run around replacing every copy of these DLLs you could find with the ones from the WinDBG distribution.
Anyway, simple, official, instructions for VS2003 are at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsdebug/html/vxtskusingasymbolserver.asp
You should bear in mind that the debugger will appear to hang while it's checking for symbols, and when you first start building up a local cache, there can be some very long delays. I pass the time by looking for file activity in the symbol cache to see what it's doing.
I don't know if Whidbey will at last have some UI for this, but it would be a great improvement.
The other bugbear can be 3rd party global hook DLLs, which appear in every process but for which SymServ doesn't have symbols - they cause a pause everytime you start debugging. I have played games with putting fake symbol files into the cache to prevent the search here.
HTH,
Will

| VS2003 contains symsrv.dll. Make sure you cache if you are going against an internet based symbol server. I'm not sure if to hit the directions you need to specify srv*c:\\cache*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols or something else? Anyway you can also set the environment variable _NT_SYMBOL_PATH with the symbol server and local symbol paths and VS2003 will pick it up (as well as ntsd/cdb/kdb/windbg) making things a little easier. Not sure why that isn't noted in the MSDN page... |

Thanks for the second link. I got some of the
symbol names, anyway...  |
