SYMPTOMS
========
A remote debugging session hosted on Windows NT with the target located on a
computer running Windows 95 using TCP/IP may fail to acknowledge breakpoints. In
addition, pressing CTRL+BREAK interrupts the debugging session leaving you with
assembler code rather than source code in the source window.
CAUSE
=====
On the host computer, the Debug tab in the Project Settings dialog box has two
executable location fields:
- Executable for debug session {full executable name as it appears to the host
PC}.
- Remote executable path and file name {full executable name as it appears to
the remote PC}.
Using a UNC file specification for these fields results in the same entry in both
fields. For example:
\\server\share\myproj\myprog.exe
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, map a drive to the share and use the mapped file
name. For example, from the host computer:
p: = \\server\share
Executable for debug session: p:\myproj\myprog.exe
Remote executable path and file name: c:\myproj\myprog.exe
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ version 5.0.
