Codewarrior 10.5, error: Can't write application "xxx.elf"

[Charlie]

I have no idea what I am doing to cause this, so I am not sure how to repeat it.

Codewarrior 10.5, windows 7 x64, MCU (56f8367 chip)

I can edit and recompile and download to debug my code a few times before all of a sudden this error pops up.  The only way I know how to get rid of it is to restart codewarrior, which is kind of a pain.

Wondering if there was any solution to this or a work around or a way to avoid it altogether.

Thanks

Killing the DE process does seem to work, except I still need to do a clean and then recompile again or it continues to act a bit buggy.  FWIW, it seems to happen only when I don't terminate and remove the debugging process.  If i am careful about doing this, the problem seems to go away.

Also, is there a good way to submit codewarrior bugs?  I've switched over to the eclipse because I couldn't get something to compile with the classic IDE.  However, there are a number of frustrating bugs I come across.  What's the recommended way to submit them?

I usually terminate the debuging process and remove it before close the debugger window.  The latest version for DSC is CodeWarrior for MCU v10.5, I you found any bug in it, please summit a Service Request to us:

It looks something has a lock on the .elf file (open file handle). Maybe the debugger has not released properly the file handle?

If this is the case, an easier way is to kill the DE.exe from the task manager (see Killing Me Softly: Zombies and Debugger Engines | MCU on Eclipse) as a workaround.
