CVI 2009 crashes when .h is typed

[Jackson_Peacock]

A colleague of mine just upgraded to LabWindows/CVI 2009 (9.1.0) for a new computer. While working on getting some old projects to compile in it, I have run into a major bug.

If I type foo.h anywhere in a source file the entire IDE crashes. I guessed that this is due to some broken auto completion code, so I disabled the "Show function prototypes and struct/union fields while typing"option in the Editor Preferences. This indeed made the problem go away, although it would still crash if completion was manual triggered by typing "." and pressing CTRL-Space.

I was unable to reproduce the problem in a new C file in a new project, so the problem may be restricted to project that can't be built, or incompatibilities between some project files saved by an older version of CVI. Regardless, this should not crash the IDE.

Hello Jackson - 

It's always easiest for us to examine these types of crashes if we can reproduce them ourselves.  Is there any way you could post the project that reproduces this issue to our ftp site ( ftp://ftp.ni.com/incoming )?  The files you post will be behind our firewall, so only National Instruments employees will have access to them.

If you are unable to post the project and all its files, could you please follow all of the steps outlined here to generate a crash dump for me to take a look at?  

Thanks - and sorry for the inconvenience,

NickB

Unfortunately, I had to move forward and get the project working before having time to debug this issue. Now that I do have time I am no longer able to reproduce the error, so I can't be of any help in tracking it down. Sorry.
