Visual Studio 2010 build spew in DebugView

If you’re a fan of DebugView (like me) you’d have been driven spare by the reams of spurious debug output that VS 2010 generates when doing a build: some 15,000 lines (in my case) of repeated cruft that drowns your output:

*** HR originated: -2147024774
***   Source File: d:\iso_whid\x86fre\base\isolation\com\copyout.cpp, line 1302


*** HR propagated: -2147024774
***   Source File: d:\iso_whid\x86fre\base\isolation\com\enumidentityattribute.cpp, line 144

This is a known issue on the forums, and there is a Connect Issue associated with it, so please vote for it. Hopefully it’s not too late to get this fixed in SP1.

(I’m optimistic– the bug was raised by Rusty Miller, an (erstwhile?) tester on the VS team)
