Re: VS hangs frequently ...

I find that attempting to debug multithreaded apps in VS2005 will crash me,
on a bad day,
several times per hour; on a good day, only about once per hour. Usually
when I hit the
single-step key, but often when I hit the go key. It is quite consistent,
although not
100% failure (sometimes it has stayed up for two or three hours; contrast
this to VS6
where I'd keep the same instance running for MONTHS). Sometimes it
crashes when I simply
stop debugging. I'm working with unmanaged MFC code. Compile-and-go is
dead, a VERY
serious defect from my viewpoint. The wizards don't work even as badly as
they worked in
VS2003; they generate error messages and display nonsense, but not
consistently. Other
than the fact that all my basic tools are broken and I can't get more than
one test per
instantiation of the executable on a bad day, and only a couple tests
between crashes on a
good day, there's nothing wrong with it. Right now it is fairly low
priority, but I'll
look for that SP before I go back to using it in a week or two.
