SYMPTOMS
When creating a derived C++ class, Developer Studio exits with no warning or error message.
CAUSE
A global variable of that class was declared before the derived C++ class was defined.
RESOLUTION
Always define the class first before declaring global variables from that class.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++ .NET.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Open a C++ project in Developer Studio.
In one of the source files, declare the following global variable:
CDerivedTest g_Test;Position the cursor above this declaration, and begin defining the CDerivedTest class as follows:
class CDerivedTest : public CBaseTest
RESULTS: Before finishing the first line of the class definition, Developer Studio will exit without warning.
In this example, writing the CDerivedTest class definition first avoids the problem.
