Code::Blocks scans filesystem on file open

(1/2) > >>

ohsnap:
It has always been the case that the code::blocks process would begin to scan my entire filesystem every time i open a file in it. This process would use 100% disk usage for around 5 minutes in which my system is unusable. I use procmon to make sure that it is indeed the case. Never understood why. Anybody has any idea on what could cause this behavior?

What file do you open?
Can you reproduce this with a simple file without any includes in it?
Do you have a project opened?

Hi, thanks for replying.
I can reproduce it when i open .h and .c files both empty and non-empty but not with .txt files. No projects open.
This is the setup:
- windows 7 64bit
- in my \Desktop i have the folder containing the nosetup codeblocks 17.12mingw version
- create an empty .c file in the \Desktop near that folder
- open Process Monitor aka procmon
- fire up codeblocks by clicking its executable in that folder
- from CB open the above .c file. Both drag&drop and "open..." will do.
- witness procmon being flooded with filesystem activity as CB scans \Desktop and all its subfolders recursively
I have quite a bit of big folders in my desktop, mostly backups.
Because CB appears to only search inside \desktop i suspect that the logic is that CB will scan the subfolders starting from the folder in which the .c file resides.

Sounds like it could be code-completion related.
Can you turn off the code-completion plugin and see if the file activity goes away after doing that.
That way the CB Devs only needs to work on code checks in code-completion plugin or skip looking at that possible cause.

Edit: Most of current active devs are [primarily] Linux devs.

Turning off code completion unser settings->editor... and restarting did not make a difference :(
