Recently converted our projects over to 2012 from 2010 (winapi/desktop/c++/32bit).

And now the “Apply Code Changes” button seems to remain disabled. Similarly, when I make a change to the source I’m currently debugging, my breakpoints go white (meaning not enabled due to source mismatch).

I’ve not changed the project settings explicitly, but I have verified that this is a debug build, that “incremental linking” is enabled.

There is a setting I’m unfamiliar with that is blank “create hot patchable image”, but I’m not sure if that is related to debug edit & continue or not (the MSDN for it is unclear, whereas the incremental linking is quite clear that it is required. [UPDATE: this has nothing to do with it]

Anyone know what is required in 2012 to fully enable edit & continue in 2012 for C++ (NOT managed – ordinary C++)?

Some extra info: Desktop GUI .exe target, statically linked to MFC and CRT. Unicode. All libraries double-checked for debug, incremental linking, and program database for edit & continue.

    Quick Answer:

    +++ Debugging
    ++++ Edit and Continue
    +++++ Native-only options
