Build Identifier: 20110916-0149 Eclipse will freeze while typing c++ code in the editor, resulting in the spinning beachball and requiring a forced quit. This can happen every few minutes, sometimes it happens after an hour or two. I feel it might have something to do with cmd+space autocomplete or with autosaving because it happens at odd intervals. No repro steps other than -Start eclipse, -author c++ class, using cmd space to autocomplete. Eventually, it will freeze and require a forced quit. -Restart, type a few lines, it freezes, force quit. I've updated cdt to latest and this has not solved the problem. Reproducible: Sometimes
Created attachment 208207 [details] Stack Dump and My System Specs, This was obtained from the force-quit dialog.
Do you give eclipse enough memory with -Xmx and XXMaxPermSize? The dump you provided does not show eclipse stack but rather JVM itself. Could you try http://wiki.eclipse.org/How_to_report_a_deadlock ?
I would guess a duplicate of bug 345970. Please try the workarounds mentioned in the comments.
