Hi guys,
I just upgraded to "Visual Studio .net 2003 7.1 c++" from VS6. Some things I like (proper for loop variable scoping, for example), but some other things are troubling me. One annoying behavior is that the text editor often "hangs" (doesn't let me type) while compiling. Is there a way to fix this so it behaves more like VS6 (editor does not hang while compiling)? To be honest, I can't think of a good reason that the user shouldn't be able to type in the editor while compiling... especially if not editing a source file. Theoretically I could do all my editing in notepad.exe and not have this problem, but it would be nice to use the features of the "Visual Studio ..net 2003 7.1 c++" text editor. Thanks, Rudy |

I've looked at this a bit more. It appears to happen at the "end" of the
compiling phase of a file. I assume this is probably when the .obj is being created. I know this because the lock on the editor is released just as the Output window moves on to the next file. Does anyone know why the text editor is disabled while the .obj is being written? I have noticed that gcc doesn't lock vi when creating object code, so I don't think it's necessary.

While the compiler generally is not very cooperative, when it is "Generating Code" it more or less blocks the whole machine. I got into the habit of lowering the priority of "vcspwan.exe" as soon as I started a compilation. However, that only helps when you compile a lot of files and you will have to do it again for each project in the solution. Very often I work with the real solution and a solution containing test projects. Then I have one IDE set to lower priority (this is inherited by the compiler) and work in the other. But you are right, this is annoying and we shouldn't have to go through such hoops. Can't we have an option to start the compiling processes using a lower priority than the IDE's? > Rudy > [...] Schobi |
