I'm using Parallel Studio XE 2015 Composer Edition for Fortran Windows (w_fcompx3_2015.1.148) running with Visual Studio 2013 on a 64 bit Windows 7 system. I recently installed a trial copy of VTune but don't know if that's involved in the problem.
I recently found that when I tried to rebuild my project, after one or two files showed that they compiled, I got the message that "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 has stopped working" and the compiler shut down. I was able to individually compile each file in my project, but not do the rebuild. I tried deleting the output folder but that didn't help. I also uninstalled and reinstalled both the Parallel Studio and MS Visual Studio -- no help. Finally, I began going through daily backups to find when the problem began, then compared the project directories of the last working version and the first crashing one. The problem wasn't the source code (identical in the two versions) or the .vfproj file. It turned out to be due to a file <project name>.db3 present in the crashing versions but not the working ones. I deleted it, and the Visual Studio crash went away.
Does anybody know where this came from? Is it likely to be re-created?
