I used C::B 17.12 although I had the same problem in version 12 and 16, I am using C::B on windows 7 on a 64bits machine which has i7 and 32Gb of RAM.
I expecting long freezes while using codeblocks which is so annoying that it is impossible to use it. After searching this forum I found similar complaints and there it is advised to disable the 'symbols browser'.
This solved my problem but it is not very satisfying. In some of my projects I experience this problem and some I don't, most of the time I notice this problem with projects that are set-up using cmake, so the codeblocks project file is generated by cmake.
Now I was wondering if I can enable some kind of debug/log feature to see what is actually the problem, why is the symbols browser choking on my project, which file, which construct. So that I (we) can find the root cause of the problem (if any) or that I can adapt my project so that I don't experience the problem anymore.
Is there such a feature for the symbols browser? If yes, how to enable it? If it doesn't exist can someone shine a light here then I can maybe contribute myself to create it.
Thanks in advance.
