Visual C++ 6.0 SP5 - Debugger does not respond
-
Hi all, I am trying to debug an MFC application. Dialog Based. As soon as I reach a breakpoint, neither of my application or MSVC does respond anymore. The funny thing is if I start my application outside of the IDE, and if an exception is raised then I can enter the debugger without any problem. Is there anything I can check so that I can understand/fix what is going on ? Thanks for any help. Zindine

What OS are you using? I had that all the time on Win98 and ME. It was fine on Win95, and has been fine on XP. Any NT based OS should be fine. Make sure that you're using the latest service pack (at least SP5). Hope this helps,

Hy Ryan, My OS is Windows 2000 SP3. How do I know for sure that MSVC 6.0 is updated with SP5 ? I did apply it but my experience tells me that sometimes some of the files in system32 are overridden by applications. Added to that, it does it only with that particular application. I did reset all the settings of my project. I am a bit lost. Never seen that before in 5 years that I am using MSVC 6.0 Thanks for answering anyway. Zindine

Yeah, sorry I can't help more. I don't have the problem on WinXP, that I use now, and I've never had 2k. It seems to be OS related though (in my experience), so you might want to check if there are any more SPs available for 2k. I'm not sure what the latest it. Although, If it only does it for one application, it's wierd. Have you done a rebuild-all? Have you tried restarting the computer? Probably, but just thought I'd check :) Others may have more they can say on this :)

it could be the application itself. Here is the obvious stupid questions in case you forgot to check something: Do you use any unconventional libraries? Did you try to break the execution by "break all"? Do you use mix of MT(d), MD(d) libraries? Do you have custom version of stl libraries? Could your *.pdb files be out of sink? Is it possible you have several versions of shared DLL's on your computer? Did you install Java from Sun on your computer recently?:) (Rational Rose, Corba, RealTime player) What is your app actually doing at the time of the problem?
