Same here. Win2k. VC6 with SP6 (They fixed a problem with the debugger sometimes locking up on multiprocessor machines, so I thought it might be related in some way maybe. No such luck).
Stepping out of a function, or continuing to run after stopping at breakpoint will still lock up the debugger. VAX 1225. |

If you can reproduce the hang with any frequency, enable logging on the Performance node of our options dialog. Reproduce the hang. While hung, zip and send us c:\\va.log
Restart your IDE. |

We are curious. Does your CPU have hyper-threading technology? |

No hyper threading here. My evaluation copy of VAX has expired yesterday, so I won't be able to make a log for you today. |

Sent va.log to [email protected] .
No hyperthreading on my CPU, it's a bit too old for that...
I noticed on several runs that it doesn't lock if after breaking I just directly hit F5 (Run). This may be a change from previous versions, since I remember it used to lock up on those as well. Doing some step-overs will usually, but not always, cause it to lock if I Run afterwards. Stepping-out (Either with a Step-out command or by stepping over an end of a method)will almost always lock it up the first time, and always the second time.
The copy in the log have some breaks with immediate Run, Breaks followed by a few step-overs and a Run, and finally two steps-out and it locked up. Must say that this is the most debugging breaks I managed to get out of it in a long time... Usually it locks up much more easily. |

We believe disabling enhanced syntax coloring before debugging prevents hanging. We have one use who has confirmed this. Let us know if the same happens for you. |

I don't think it's syntax coloring - with version 1223, when I disable VA altogether - I still get stuck during debugging. It didn't happen at all before VA-X. |

Yep, this does seems to be a good workaround. If I disable enhanced syntax coloring the debugger works perfectly (well, at least as good as it can) and does not hang.
It does seems somewhat strange, since as Tsahi wrote disabling VA (via the "Enable/Disable Visual Assist X" toolbar button), which removes enhanced syntax coloring as well (Although does not remove all VA features for some reason), does not solve the problem and the debugger still hangs...
Anyway, this is still a problem of course, but as of now it's annoying but no longer critical. I can debug with the regular coloring. Would be nice though if until you resolve it you can add a feature to automatically disable coloring when debugging (optional only of course, it seems that most users don't have this problem). It would remove the small hassle of turning it on/off manually all the time.
Thanks!

We have solved the hang-during-debug problem in VC++ 6.0 with assistance from a dedicated customer, Karl Hurst.
Fix will be in the next build, due soon. |
