Hi,

I appear to have discovered two bugs in the recent release of Visual GDB (4.2). The first occurs when I try to clean a project shared with my Linux device using Windows sharing to share the source code folder. Here’s the output I get:

1>

The problem appears to be due to the log file written in the Target folder. I’ve looked in the settings but can’t find a way of changing the output path of the log file. If I choose the option to copy the source files across to the remote device it works. I need to use Windows sharing due to the size of my project. I didn’t have this issue with the previous version of VisualGDB.

The second bug is that if I click on Tools->SSH Host Manager, then open the console and move the console window I get an unhandled exception. Here’s the stack trace.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** Exception Text **************
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The second bug is not too important to me but the first makes working very difficult for me so I’ve had to download the previous version. I did email your support team but I’ve had no reply. Hopefully, you’ll answer me on the forum.

Thanks,

Ralph
