code completion lately not that good

[killerbot]

I have been suffering from this the last couple of weeks. After working a while with CB, activating, switching between different projects the codecompletion gives up on me.
Always "still parsing", even open include file no longer works. Basically one might say : it is dead.

I have codecompletion on all projects on workspace activated, since otherwise it is usable for less then 50%.

Anyone else noticed this, or for our code completion gurus, any fixes already in the pipeline ?

EDIT : to give you an idea on how bad it is : find implementation/declaration of a method which is declared/defined/implemented 50 lines above fails :-(

Morten has send loaden and me with some similar bug.
I will check it, but seems it is not easy to catch such bug.

[Loaden]

Works well here.
I need some test code, or more information.

I did not mention the issue described first (but I do not use C::B very much at the moment), but the can-not-find-declaration-or-implementation-issue happens really often.

Works well here.

@killerbot: I realised the same and there was an issue with the command to obtain the compiler macros which Loaden and I fixed in r7246. So in case you didn't try that revision, please try again.

Furthermore, try to disable both macro options in CC and look, if it's the same.

Unfortunately I have another freeze to add:
When you open a project quickly and then directly open a file from the project before the compiler dirs are parsed C::B freezes very often in my case and you have to kill it via the task manager. This happened to me even today with a hello world console project! :shock:It seems to happen even more often if you have a huge workspace, e.g. C::B and all contrib plugins. It is not reproducible, all I can say that high HDD work load seems to make this happen more often. And no luck with debugging: The debugging version seems always to work.

I am on the debugger branch, could you do a merge of those latest revisions, since the one you mention is not yet on the debugger branch.

Done.

[killerbot]

updated, still fails like hell.

I am gonna turn of those 2 settings you mentioned, hopefully this will help.

[killerbot]

something I just noticed when looking at the log entries in the Code::Blocks log panel.

I see several "Add project (projectname) to parser".

I assume it should write this out for all projects in the workspace right ?

Well only the first 40 projects of my workspace got mentioned like this (and the active project), the next 64 projects are NOT.

The active project got mentioned like this :
Create new parser for project 'Foo'
Project 'Foo' parsing stage done!

And then all those "Add project ...".

Do we have somewhere a magic number limit ?

[killerbot]

found a limit : maximum allowed code-completion matches. It was on 16384, I increased this to 25000, the moment I clicked ok, in the CB log I could see more projects being added.

and a "find declaration" that didn't work, now does.

Gonna keep it a bit like this, then I will activate the macro setting (I had only deactivated the second one) again.

Should be solved in rev7255.

@Martin : could you do a merge of this towards the other branches. Will try to kick out nightlies tomorrow evening containing this fix.

Done (although it was just r7255). Another nightly is a good idea!  :-)

[killerbot]

Time for some feedback. Once that limit was removed, there was an improvement. But still I get a whole lot of issues  :

• declaration/implementation can't be found [even it is is within the active project]
• include header can not be found
• still parsing

So I think there are still some serious issues. I still had the "pare preprocessor directives active", I will deactivate that option and see if it this brins an improvement

[Loaden]

declaration/implementation can't be found [even it is is within the active project]

try rev7259.
