Visual Studio 2008 crash!

[kizzie]

Heya,

I found a new and exciting way to crash visual studio. If you have an enum field, with all the members in capital letters, AGENT_CONTROL_LBUTTON_DOWN for example, when you try to save the file visual studio goes into an endless loop.

I'm using ice version 3.4.1, VS 2008 ver 9.0.21022.8, on windows 7.

Hi Kat,

Welcome to our forums!

Is this crash related to Ice in any way - e.g. are you saving a .ice file with this all-caps enum in it?

If yes, you may want to try the updated Visual Studio add-in: http://www.zeroc.com/download.html#win32_msi

Best regards,
Bernard

It happens after I press save, after putting the all caps enumeration in. (Also, it appears, after I do anything which causes a host of errors).

I'll try updating the plugin! Normally I fix it by running slice2cs / java and fix the bugs in a text editor, then Visual Studio goes back to normal.

I wonder if this could be a bug in the slice compiler output parser... Could you post an example .ice file that demonstrates the problem?
