You mention a VS2008 SP1, and yet the product is not that long released. It took what felt like years to get to a SP1 for VS2005 - what is the SP1 released schedule like for VS2008?

VS2005 also took like 3+ years to get done, compared to the 18 month cycle for VS2008. And Yes it's a part of the more agile release cycle that VS will be following going forward. I don't have a good date to tell as to when its done, but it might be sometime this year. Check out Soma's blog he might have more on this soon.

This just seems cruel - discussing the cool features of an upcoming service patch and then giving an 11 month (maybe!) window of when we will get it...

How about allowing Edit-n-Continue in anonymous methods? :)

I second edit and continue in methods containing anonymous delegates (and of course in the anonymous delegates themselves too).

Also, it's not possible to use lambda functions in the immediate window or any of the other debugger windows. This would be extremely handy - for example, LINQ queries are very well suited to drilling down through data structures to find sources of trouble.

I'd be extremely pleased to find support for debug-time LINQ and other code-generation features (write a method just to analyze the state as it is now). If access to local variables complicates matters, I would much prefer being able to write a LINQ query and/or debug-time dynamic method which can only access member variables than not be able to use these features at all.

Interesting... i can totally see how lambdas and queries can be used to inspect interesting elements of a big data structure.

Adding these features has been challenging mainly due to the fact that we can’t generate types at runtime and the lambda is rewritten to a display class. We could restrict the lambda to variables that are already hoisted but that complicates the user model.

I am personally looking forward to implement many of these for VS10, Though there are a few things that need to be figured out.

Enc is another area we will be revisting for VS10

Please fix debugging of managed/native mixed dll-s. I don't know if this is a general bug or if it only doesn't work here. But it doesn't work at all. Breakpoints set in native code are just ignored. (VS 2008 Pro, Windows XP SP2)

And please also improve C++ debugging.

I just found the Enable unmanaged code debugging option. :) So ignore my last silly post.

Ive found c++ debugging quite often wrong. The debugger is showing the wrong address and variable state. For example the watch window will show.

bool m_Animate true

when breakpointed on the last line..

m_Animate = false;

bool test = m_Animate

test will show false, debugger will be pointing several bytes ahead in adress and report m_Animate is true.. havent yet tracked it down..

Edit/Continue Anonymous delegates, generics and 64-bit

Russell Hind — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:57:46 GMT

As requested above, we really could use edit/continue debugging of anonymous delegates. Currently we don't use anonymous delegates because some of our simulation/test runs can take hours and we can make heavy use of edit/continue which is not supported.

Edit/continue of generics would also be very useful and we're just moving to Vista 64 and miss edit/continue on this as well.

It would be useful to have a standard feature set across all platforms and language features.

Thanks

Russell
