When using edit and continue in VS2003.NET and the result of the compilation causes "stale code", VS opens a source code window containing the old version of the code. The name of this file is a temporary name (encXX.tmp), the whole source is colored in purple and VAX is definitely not active in this window.
How to repro:
create any .exe project, enable edit and continue, compile and run, break in a function, add a new local variable to this function, debug-step. VS will compile the changes, pop up a warning about stale code and then open the temp source window.
PS: I suppose this also applies to newer version of VAX. Havent tried it yet. |

i cannot get .NET 2002 to pop up the dialog about stale code. then again, i have never used edit and continue, so perhaps i am overlooking some step somewhere.
i will have a go with .NET 2003 tommorow at work. |

| Maybe you'll have to actually use the new variable too to get this situation? |

fixing the project so it would compile in debug mode helped. this time i got the dialog about edit and continue.
i put a break at the start of a function that scans a directory tree on my hard drive. for edit and continue i added a counter, incremented it inside the scan folders loop, and printed it out at the end.
i have just stepped over the code i added at run time, several times, and still no sign of any stale code. i will try this at work tomorrow on .NET 2003
why are so many of your bugs so hard to reproduce?  |

using .NET 2003 i still don't get any stale code using edit and continue 
are you stepping through the cpp file and function that you have just edited? i assumed you were, so my tests have been:
* put break point at the start of a function
* edit this function
* step through this function
all in one function, one cpp file. since i am not getting any comments about stale code, i am wondering if you are doing something different. |
