BUG: VCMAC: Remote Debugger Hangs at Breakpoint

Article ID: 135727

The Integrated Debugger, when used with:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0 Cross Development Edition for Macintosh

This article was previously published under Q135727

SYMPTOMS

If a debugger breaks at a breakpoint, then when a combo box is displayed, Visual C++ and the Macintosh hang.

RESOLUTION

While debugging, remove the combo box, or do not set a breakpoint such that the breakpoint is hit when the combo box is displayed in the application.

The problem occurs only on the Power Macintosh. It does not happen on a 68K Macintosh. Try debugging using a 68K Macintosh.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

To see this problem, create an application that brings up a dialog box that has a combo box in it. Set a breakpoint on a function that gets called when the dialog box is up. For example, set a breakpoint in the OK button handler. Run the application under the remote debugger that comes with the Visual C++ Macintosh add-on. If the debugger hits the breakpoint, it will cause Visual C++ to hang. The Macintosh is also hung and needs to be rebooted.
