vs2015 edit and continue - pdb api error

Question

Hi

With vs2015 c++, edit & continue turned into a mess. It´s hardly working. Quite often if not allways we get the following error message:

fatal error C1090: PDB API call failed, error code '0': '

Project : error (null) : Build errors occurred.

The code execution must be stopped, then it compiles fine "offline"

What can be the reason? It´s unpossible to work that way

thx for help

Hmm noone ?

This happened in x64 btw. In x86 mode I get for same code the following error:

warning C4657: expression involves a data type that is new since the latest build

fatal error C1092: Edit and Continue does not support changes to data types; build required

All i modified was: I hit a breakpoint, entered an additional space (!) and tried to go on...

Or try entering just a blank new line, same.. It´s a mess.

thx for help
