It’s getting more and more annoying as it seems. When Visual Studio .NET 2003 has been locking my C++ source file giving me no chance to save changes, I could live with it. Well it is obviously not comfortable in any way but I could find the file handle in Process Explorer and force closing handle.
But the rest is only in our dreams, instead it started crashing on just opening a solution… Fuck, how the hell I am supposed to work with all this crap? DEVENV goes to hell in just a couple of seconds after solution is opened…
The reason is an .h file included into one of the solution projects. I have the second case already. Once you remove the .h file from the project (note that it’s just an .h file and the project remains compilable), IDE no more crashes.
I am almost sure it’s buggy Intellisense. First I thought my source file could be too large (both .h files causing the problem were about 100 kB with no much too long lines) but it’s juvenile. It seems it is the nesting which is causing the problems, there are many nested classes. Anyhow I am fucking pleased with this marvelous IDE feature.
