Generate PDB crashes Visual Studio 2017

IonKiwi

Hi,

I am trying to generate a PDB for Microsoft.SharePoint.dll (SharePoint 2016).
Using the generate a PDB option, it crashes Visual Studio 2017 (and restarts Visual Studio).

Attached a debugger to vs, and it seems Reflector crashes with a StackOverflowException.
Stacktrace is attached.

Are you able to share the offending dll?

IonKiwi

Attached a copy of Microsoft.SharePoint.dll

Inspecting the variables with a debugger attached.
It seems to be caused by the following method:
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPStoredProceduresContent.proc_InsertEventSubcriptionJunctionEntries

Inspecting that method with the reflector application (not the visual studio extension), crashes reflector.
Attached the stacktrace of that crash.

Sorry for the delay - I didn't get an notification for some reason. I can't reproduce this in the latest release - can you update and see if this behaviour still occurs?

IonKiwi

The behavior has changed with the new version.
It now restarts visual studio after the extension crashes.

And Visual Studio displays:
A previous session terminated unexpectedly. 'Disabling extension '.NET Reflector Visual Studio Extension 10.1.3.1218' might help prevent similar issues.

Attached the stacktrace.

IonKiwi

Tried it with the last version (10.1.5.1419) it still crashes.

Attaching the Visual Studio debugger to Visual Studio, while generating the pdb, shows the same StackOverflowException.

Attached the stacktrace & details.

Can you try this using 10.0.16 https://files.red-gate.com/message/8lrghkxNTp5d359zjzuV54?

Remember to untick Auto update before removing the current version or it will just update it again.

IonKiwi

It works with 10.0.16.

Russell D

Great, thanks. That confirms its a problem with the new engine. For now I can only really recommend not enabling auto updates.

@Russell D I'm also encountering the same problem can I please get access to version 10.0.16? The link has since expired or isn't working for me

Russell D

Sure thing: https://download.red-gate.com/checkforupdates/ReflectorInstaller/ReflectorInstaller_10.0.16.1062.exe. We're still investigating this I'm afraid.
