A customer debugged the debugger (using the publically available symbol files) and determined the real cause: an uninitialized variable in the debugger. On Win2K somehow this ends up as a &quot;bad&quot; value, and the feature fails, but on XP it is &quot;good&quot;. I checked the VS &quot;Whidbey&quot; codebase and it has the same bug, though I will try to fix it before release.http://blogs.msdn.com/andypennell/archive/2004/02/06/how-to-not-step-into-functions-using-the-visual-c-debugger.aspx#95135Wed, 24 Mar 2004 09:53:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:95135suthansimple wonderfullhttp://blogs.msdn.com/andypennell/archive/2004/02/06/how-to-not-step-into-functions-using-the-visual-c-debugger.aspx#133496Mon, 17 May 2004 19:43:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:133496Gregg MiskellyA customer pointed out another bug.

I don't know if this has been fixed in Whidbey, I haven't played around with Beta 1 too much for C++ development.http://blogs.msdn.com/andypennell/archive/2004/02/06/how-to-not-step-into-functions-using-the-visual-c-debugger.aspx#422648Fri, 27 May 2005 20:37:17 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:422648Andy Pennell's BlogI have updated the post at <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://blogs.msdn.com/andypennell/archive/2004/02/06/69004.aspx&amp;amp;nbsp;to">http://blogs.msdn.com/andypennell/archive/2004/02/06/69004.aspx&amp;amp;nbsp;to</a> include...http://blogs.msdn.com/andypennell/archive/2004/02/06/how-to-not-step-into-functions-using-the-visual-c-debugger.aspx#1381620Sat, 30 Dec 2006 02:38:10 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1381620andypennell<p>This post is popular with spammers so I am closing it for new comments.</p>
