Visual D crashes when using Visual Studio 2008 #266

Open luxploit opened 8 months ago

luxploit commented 8 months ago

Wanted to try out Visual D in VS2008 (my main IDE). I installed, created a Windows Application and then when i went into winmain.d the text was sort of corrupted and it crashed right after. For sanity's sake I even tried it in a VM with a clean install of Vs2008 without any extras or Visual Assist. Any clue why this is happening?

Host Version: 1.4.0-beta2 VM Version: 1.3.1

AFAICT VS2008 hasn't been tested in a while. Are you running on Win7 or earlier, too? 32 or 64 bit OS?

Maybe some (background) colors are not working, you might be able to tweak them in Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors, names "Visual D - ...".

Regarding crashes: do you have a crash dump? Might be written to %LocalAppData%\CrashDumps.

I'm running Windows 11 22H2 and my VM was running Windows 10 2004, both 64-bit. I'll upload the crash dumps later today if it generated any. I tried VS2010 and 2013 and those work perfectly on both host and VM, so it's specifically only 2008 that's crashing

devenv.exe.46640.dmp this is the crash dump that was written by VS at %LocalAppData%\CrashDumps

The crash dump shows a heap corruption while populating the navigation bar at the top of the editor. Maybe it helps to just disable that in Tools->Options->Text Editor->D->General before loading any D source file.
