MS Visual Studio 2015 and Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 U4 crash on specific file

[Guido_Falk_v_]

Hi,

while importing the open-source project CP2K, I came across a problem with parsing the input files. Opening the attached file d3_poly.F in Visual Studio 2015 with Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 U4 immediately crashes the Visual Studio UI for me. Can anybody confirm this issue?

Kind regards,

Guido

Running under win8.1:

It attempts to restart VS after about 2 minutes, throws an unhandled .NET framework exception, offers to attempt to attach debugger to process but fails to do so.  Then I must use Task Manager to close VS2015.

I have both 2015u4 and 2016u2 integrated in vs so it there's some doubt about which it may be.

@Tim - Thank you for testing and the additional info.

@Guido - I will look into this and let you know.

I reproduced the error and reported it to our IDE integration team (see internal tracking id below) for further investigation. The error occurs when only 458 lines of the original source are present. I was unable to find any sort of work around. I will let you know what I hear from the Developers. Thank you for alerting us to this error.

I completely overlooked this while focusing on the IDE crash. Development identified the root-cause relates to the source file not conforming to fixed-source form format and containing improper indentation. The file can be opened and MSVS IDE crash avoided when renaming it with a .f90 extension for now. I will keep this post updated about a change in our integrations to better handle this in a future release.
