[mpich-discuss] How to keep the VS console window open on exceptions during debug of a parallel code

[Wesley Bland]

Sorry, you probably won't find any VS developers here either. MPICH stopped supporting Windows a few versions back and none of us are likely to know much about the specifics of Visual Studio. You might try somewhere like StackExchange or a similar forum where you're more likely to get a wide variety of people.

However, it looks like something for a serial code without mpiexec.exe in the command line, and I am not a advanced VS user, so I don't know how to do it for a parallel code, or if there is any other way out.
