This issue just appeared in a new project. It it GNU make-based. When I did a Shift-right click on the Project tab, it did not display an error.

[jmkresse]

Thanks!

[jmkresse]

Thanks! That explains why the issue was intermittent; I’m guessing he was hitting network congestion when he had the issue.

Hi,

After being able to repeat the issue at will previously, my user was not able to repeat it today. Instead, things glitched at an earlier point, but he was able to recover and work around the issue. For now, given he has a workaround, he doesn’t want to pursue this any further. If (when) that changes, I’ll get back to you.

For what it’s worth, the version we are using here is 5.2.15.1452.

Thanks!

[jmkresse]

Thank you for that clarification.

We tried to follow those steps, but when we got to step 7, we saw 34 threads, but didn’t see a GUI thread. Also, when we tried clicking on a thread, they all just came back with “[External Code]” in the Call Stack window.

I have screenshots, and can attach them if you tell me how to do that.

Thanks!

[jmkresse]

Thanks! We’ll give that a try.

[jmkresse]

Ok, thanks for the quick reply!

Would you please explain to me how to do that? I’m not that familiar with VS; most of my experience has been in embedded processors.

[jmkresse]

Thanks! I’ll pass that along to that user.

I don’t think he was using VS2017, though; probably VS2015. I’ll check on that.

[jmkresse]

Ok, thanks. Do you have an estimate about when that might be?

Also, just curious, how much different is this than using it with an embedded app, which you do support?

[jmkresse]

Ok, thanks.

Yes, I’m using GNU Make; so as I suspected, I can either manually edit the Makefile, or manually rename the executables. (It would be nice to have this handled automatically in a future release, if possible. 🙂 )

[jmkresse]

To clarify, that usually works; but then it appears to stop working for a project, and will not work again. (When I click on “VisualGDB Project Properties”, nothing appears to happen.)

I do have the workaround of bringing up the appropriate .vdgbsettings file, but it’s far easier to explain to my other users how to do things the other way.

[jmkresse]

Thanks! I think I like that option better.

[jmkresse]

I think I found an answer to my own question. If I’m incorrect, or if someone has a better or more elegant answer, please post.

My answer is to do the following:
In the VisualGDB Project Properties, under Makefile settings, under Build tools, in Additional arguments, I put:

CC=$(CXX)

[jmkresse]

In other words, I want make to use $(CXX) instead of $(CC) on .c files, and I want to avoid having to hand edit the Makefile to do that.
