Boost bind() function freezes VC.NET 7.1

[Steve V]

Hi
I'm using visual c++ .net 7.1 and so I'm taking advantage of the some of the
classes in the boost library, like bind.hpp and function.hpp
The problem is that this particular header will occasionally freeze visual
studio, causing me to force it to shut down and lose whatever changes I've
made :(

I can't find anything anywhere on the net that mentions this behaviour so if
anyone can suggest anything I'd be very appreciative

I don't know if it's related, but there's a bug fixed in Whidbey that would
cause the IDE to lock up - it's an Intellisense bug.

If you never open bind.hpp/function.hpp in the IDE do you have any problems?
(i.e. is this just an IDE problem, or is it a compilation problem?)

Thanks for your response, Carl

It is an IDE problem. It never happens during compilation, only when I'm
browsing through some code, so it may be the intellisense bug you mentioned.

Assuming it is, I will need to upgrade. Sorry to keep this topic going, but
do you know of any upgrade options from 2003 to 2005?

Don't be sorry, questions are what this group is for. :-)

There aren't any, 2005 is not released yet. You can download the _beta_ if
you like

But, of course, the bug is still present in the beta. :-(

Hmm, I thought Carl wrote that the bug is fixed in Whidbey?

The bug was closed indicating that it was fixed. It's possible that the fix
is in Beta 2 though. It's also possible that it's a different bug.

I'd suggest reporting the bug on the MSDN product feedback center just in
case it's a different bug.

Other options with Visual 2003 :
- Disable Intellisense altogether (yuk!)
- Use Visual Assist (beware, highly addictive!)
