FIX: Wrong Line Number Information Debugging STL

ID: Q191679

The information in this article applies to:

The Integrated Debugger, included with:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 5.0sp3

SYMPTOMS

When trying to debug a program that uses STL template classes, the debugger may point to the wrong line in the source file.

CAUSE

The Compiler is generating incorrect line-number information.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in Visual C++, version 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Sample Code


   //test.cpp
   #include <vector>
   int main()
   {
   int a, b ;
   a=10;
   std::vector<int>  v; //Incorrect debug line-number info for this line.
   b=5;
   return 0;
   }
   //end test.cpp

Create a Console Application project and add test.cpp to the project.

Make a debug build of the project.

Start stepping over each line of code by using F10.

RESULTS: After the "a=10;" line, the cursor points to the last line of test.cpp.

Pressing F10 again takes the cursor back to "b=5;" line.
