[cfe-dev] Why does Visual C++ 2012 hate FunctionDecl* ?

[Greg_Bedwell at sn.scee.net]

I've not spent any time trying to figure out what precisely it is about 
FunctionDecl* that it doesn't like, but I came up with a quick workaround 
should at least prevent it from taking out the entire IDE every time you 
dare to hover your mouse over one!  Put the following file into 
"Documents/Visual Studio 2012/Visualizers".  Now when you try to inspect 
one, either through the Watch view or by hovering over it, it will show 
"Cannot display this without crashing VS2012.  Expand at your peril!" with 
a tempting little '+' icon next to it.  Clicking the icon will still crash 
the IDE, but at least you've been warned first :-).

I can confirm this problem too, hope it's fixed in the next version.

Hello,

I am compiling and debugging LLVM/clang using Visual C++ 2012 Update 3. 
Whenever the debugger needs to show a value of type FunctionDecl*, it 
crashes!
Not just the compiled code but the whole Visual C++ IDE crashes and 
restarts.
This does not happen with any other data types in LLVM and clang (so far, 
and I debugged a lot).

Any ideas what's going on?

Yaron
