HI
It seems that VA 1624 cann't parse some of my class fully.

The whole VC6 crashed when I turn off the "show non-inherited first".

We have some other users reporting a crashing problem with VA 1624. We are currently trying to find and fix the problem. We have a test dll that might help. If you are willing to try it can you please contact me via the form:

including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up.

I think it is very simple to show the bug, you define a class.
In a cpp file:
//--------------------------------------------------------
class Ca{
int m_a;
int m_b;
}

main(){
Ca x;
x. // **********It happened when the suggestion listbox appears.
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not seeing any problems when I try this on my test system. Can you try turning off:

VA Options -> Advanced -> Fonts and Colors -> Enhance Syntax Coloring

does this make any difference to the problem?

My colleague faced a similar problem yesterday using WinXP, VS2003, build 1626. After hitting the "show non-inherited first" button the IDE froze. But this happend only once and my colleague uses the latest build since beginning of last week. So it's again a bug that is impossible to reproduce, but there's going something on there.

Do you know if there is anything "odd" about your colleague's system? Any other IDE plugin's? Programs that might be hooking into the IDE, for example something like Windowblinds or some other skinning program?

No, nothing special. And VA is the only plug-in.

Hopefully this was a one off problem. If it happens again can your colleague please try to get a call stack? That might provide some clues.

Maybe I will now ask a stupid question: The IDE doesn't crash, it just freezes. Is there a way to get the call stack anyway?

Not a stupid question at all

Once the IDE crashes or hangs launch a second instance of VS2003, but do not load any solution in this second instance.

Open the Tools menu and select "Debug Process..."
In the dialog that appears select "devenv.exe" in the Available Processes list and press the "Attach" button.
Once the second IDE has finished attaching close the "Process" dialog
Now open the Debug menu and select "Break All"
If the Call Stack window is not visible then show it by opening the Debug menu and selecting "Windows -> Call Stack"

You should now be able to click into the Call Stack window, select all of the text via CTRL-A then copy / paste it into your reply.

Thank you very much! I will instruct my colleague accordingly. In this case I hope it happens again
