Good afternoon campers!
Just received a new to me error in MPlab X 5.50. It seems to not like my stdint.h include. Shutting down and reopening MPlabX seems to resolved the issue for the moment. The only thing that I have possibly done wrong is left MPLabX running all night and day could this have created the problem or did I just invent another way to cause myself problems. Comments suggestions?

Huh, that's a new one to me. Does this only pop up when attempting to save? When trying to open stdint.h? At compile time? If it's when trying to compile, and parallel make is enabled, maybe multiple threads are trying to access it at the same time? Does rebooting your PC clear it up?

If you want to do some digging next time it occurs, you can find out which process is keeping a handle on a file in a few ways described here:

If it happens again maybe give one of those methods a shot to see what's stopping MPLAB X from taking control.

I'm curious why it is trying to SAVE stdint.h, when that file should never be modified...

I would think that the upper error is to prevent you from saving stdint.h (because yeah, it shouldn't try and change it), but the lower access error suggests it's just trying to do it anyway.
