DFDEV Exhausts Virtual Memory and Crashes on Conditional Breakpoint

[steve_medvedoff]

I'm trying to set a conditional breakpoint in a program within the Visual Fortran developer. After the breakpoint is set, the program runs extremely slow and I can see through Task Manager that DFDEV is consuming huge chunks of memory. After a while, I get a Windows error message stating that virtual memory is too low and Windows is increasing it. After that, I get the following error message and DFDEV crashes:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Program:...esMicrosoft Visual StudioCommonMSDev98BinDFDEV.EXE

abnormal program termination

This only seems to happen when setting conditional breakpoints. The variables/conditions involved don't make any difference. Something about conditional breakpoints causes DFDEV.EXE to exhaust memory. I'm running Version 6.6A.

Does anyone have an explanation and/or solution for this problem?

Thanks,

Steve

I'll comment that, although it says DFDEV.EXE, what is really running is the core MS IDE code. Breakpoints are handled by MS code. I don't have a solution for you, and in fact can't recall this problem being reported before, but there may not be much you can do about it other than to not use conditional breakponts in this case.
