How to fix the evaluating expression in the watch window during Fortran debugging

Question

I am using Visual Studio with intel Fortran compiler. I used to debug Fortran code and evaluate some expressions and parameters using Watch window
Two weeks ago, visual studio made an update, from that time, when I want to find some variables or parameters the evaluating expression window keeps running as in the attached photo. and the visual studio crashes. I tried to reinstall again for several time as well as the intel compiler but still I could not solve the problem. Please advice me how to solve this issue

Answer 1

A thread on this issue on the Intel forum can be found here:

https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Debugging-ifort-in-VS-2022-17-7-hangs-expression-evaluator/td-p/1513040

There also seems to be a provisional fix available there.

Hi @AI-Yahia Omar Sharief, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

Is your “Enable Just My Code” checked? (Tools > Options > Debugging > General)  

You can manually delete the .suo file from the project folder and try again. 

Besides, it may be related to Fortran Compiler, please report it in Intel Community. 

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely,

Anna
