I experienced a few crashes by using IDL8 and Windows 7 (both 32 and
64). But no so frequent, maybe one per week in daily utilisation.
always after some using time, with many edit/run/edit cycles.
Sure that IDL8's Workbench is much more fragile than IDL7's one. Maybe
related to the new garbage collector for IDL objects ?
Anyhow, I guess that Eclipse is crashing then, rather than IDL: you
can get some info from java log files (filenames are like
hs_err_pidxxxx.log). Sometimes, the faulting module is "idl.dll", but
you can find others, likely related to error messaging in java.
Not really confortable, since you loose everything from your most
recent IDL work...
alx.
