VAST 8.6 hangs

I'm running on Windows 7 Professional.  ...  This morning I came in and unlocked my PC to find that my VAST 8.6 development image was hung.  Clicking the button to interrupt execution had no effect.  ...

 

Any ideas?

I have had no issues with 8.6 like that and I an running a Windows 7 Enterprise. You might try running with the -l (the letter 'ell') option on the command line. Follow it immediately (no space) with the log file name. It is possible that VA has written something to this log when it hangs.

[Just the other day, I was playing around in an area that was best left alone, and this log file allowed me to understand that I had rendered my image unresponsive with some kind of stack overflow (which broke the critical area I was messing with).]

Thank.  I do use the -l option.  The log file doesn't list anything much except for high level descriptions of some typical development-time errors and breakpoints.  Nothing surprising or out of the ordinary.  It would be nice if the logged items would have a timedatestamp.

 

Is there verbose mode?

I've seen this several times - also with older versions. VA does not like (e.g.) a running debugger of VS2010.

I'm running on Windows 7 Professional.  Last night I left VAST running after loading the image and just editing some code, and running some simple utilities that read and parse smalltalk chunk files.  This morning I came in and unlocked my PC to find that my VAST 8.6 development image was hung.  Clicking the button to interrupt execution had no effect.  I had to kill the image and restart.

 

I have seen a few other situations when the image hung, but this was typically after doing a lot of fancy stuff such as tons of database access and other things.

 

But hanging after just doing some simple code editing is disturbing.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,
