Hi,

I did a code completion operation in VS 2017 (I can't figure out specifically which one I'm afraid) and when I later exited VS the CodeInspectionsServer was still running using 1 cpu core.

I've got a minidump which I'll upload via the contact form.

I am not initially seeing anything obvious in the call stack, but I am not an expert here. Have you seen this problem before, or was this a one off problem? I am wondering if you might have any way of reproducing this. That would open the door to logging what Code Inspection was up to when this happened.

Do you remember which code file you were working in when this happened?

I'm not 100% sure, but one possibility:

We have some auto-generated code that results in a function called 'Read' with about 200 overloads.

I did Alt-G and the ambiguity resolution context menu showed up. I pressed the down arrow at the bottom a few times and then chose the one I wanted to go to.

If that doesn't repro... I'm not sure, sorry.

I only noticed it was stuck after I'd exited the IDE.

Interesting, so it could be that simply parsing the file on opening is where Code Inspection got stuck.

For the auto generated Read function, is this a class member function? Or are all of the overloads outside of a class? I am not sure if it matters, but it will have an effect on setting up a test case here, since that is a lot of overloads

They are all functions in a namespace.
There are some hand written ones for base types, and then a bunch of generated overloads for structures.

Broadly like this, for example:

Serialise.h

namespace serialise
{
    void Write(Buffer * b, int v) { ... }
    void Write(Buffer * b, float v) { ... }
}


ProjectStructs.h

struct Foo
{
    int i;
    float f;
};


ProjectSerialise.h

namespace serialise
{
    void Write(Buffer * b, Foo * f)
    {
        Write(b, f->i);
        Write(b, f->f);
    }
}


hth,
Alex

Thanks for sending the dump. The process was aware that VS had exited but a worker thread was busy in an inefficient long running loop and would have eventually exited. We do expect to have a couple of performance improvements in that exact area in the Oct/Nov timeframe.
