Edit & Continue

[Anonymous]

IDE: VS2010
Target: x32
Platform Toolset: VC90
Debug Information Format: Program Database for Edit And Continue (/ZI)

Edit & Continue reports "build started" and "DONE", but does not allow to continue debugging?!?

This was working before in VS2005 & 2008!!

Is this supposed to work?

Hi Istan, I have also come across this problem when using the v90 toolset. Try using the v100 toolset, it works fine for me for 2012 plugins. If that still doesn't work I can upload an example project that has edit and continue enabled with v100 for you. I think it is a bug with vs2010 that doesn't allow edit and continue with v90, I have tried it on non-max applications and it fails with the v90 toolset, crashing the compiler, but works with v100.
Let me know how you get on.

Laurence,
I already tried but I failed in building - did not inspect this further, as sdk doc says we shall use the v90 setting. So I thought adesk is not supporting. I'll give it a try again, thanks.

I also noticed that it advises v90, but I have yet to find a reason why. It may be that some parts of the SDK code only compile on v90 but none of my projects have required those parts yet if that's the case, or maybe it was referring to backwards compatibility for older version of max.
I have attached an example project which runs edit and continue and builds with v100. There are one or two direct-links used in the properties where I should have used the max environment vars note. Hopefully this will help.

Hi Laurence,
does this also work with Max2013? As I skipped the Max2012 version, I now would need it for debugging the unicode changes.. I already tried but can't get it working.

Answering myself.. yes max2013 works.. with c++ option /ZI..

BUT: almost every time crashes.
In contrast VS2005 never crashes - so I'm forced to debug in Max9..
What an improvement..
