Christoph Vogtländer commented on JENKINS-9104:
-----------------------------------------------
I would not recommend setting the shutdown time to such a high value.
mspdbsrv.exe tends to hang after some time because of handle leaks (at least
the version shipped with Visual Studio 2005) causing the compiler to exit with
error when trying to access pdb files. mspdbsrv process must be killed
manually, then.
> Visual studio builds started by Jenkins fail with "Fatal error C1090" because

> Key: JENKINS-9104
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-9104
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: current
> Environment: Windows XP, using MSBuild or devenv.exe to build MS
> Visual Studio Projects
> Reporter: Christoph Vogtländer
> Priority: Minor
>
> I run into errors when using a customized build system which uses Visual
> Studio's devenv.exe under the hood to compile VisualStudio 2005 projects
> (with VC++ compiler). When starting two parallel builds with Jenkins (on
> different code base) the second job will always fail with "Fatal error C1090:
> PDB API call failed, error code '23' : '(" in exactly the same second the
> first job finishes processing. Running both jobs outside Jenkins does not
> produce the error.
> This has also been reported for builds executed by MSBuild on the Jenkins
> user mailing list [1].
> I analysed this issue thoroughly and can track the problem down to the usage
> of mspdbsrv.exe. This program is automatically spawned when building a
> VisualStudio project. All Visual Studio instances normally share one common
> pdb-server which shutdown itself after a idle period (standard is 10
> minutes). "It ensures access to .pdb files is properly serialized in parallel
> builds when multiple instances of the compiler try to access the same .pdb
> file" [2].
> I assume that Jenkins does a clean up of its build environment when a
> automatically started job finishes (like as described at
> http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Aborting+a+build). I checked
> mspbsrv.exe with ProcessExplorer and the process indeed has a variable
> JENKINS_COOKIE/HUDSON_COOKIE set in its environment if started through
> Jenkins. Killing mspdbsrv.exe while projects are still connected will break
> compilation.
> Jenkins mustn't kill mspdbsrv.exe to be able to build more than one Visual
> Studio project at the same time.
