[cdt-dev] CDT Indexer

Hi,

Are there any plans for an improved indexer for the next release of CDT? At my work place we are using CDT 3.1 for our development purposes ( cross-compilation on Windows XP, with PowerPC based eCos as target. Environment uses Cygwin and a custom gcc compiler), but because of the flakiness of the indexer it hasn't garnered a good reputation amongst
those who are used to Visual Studio and Slick Edit.

The main problems:

   - can't click on a keyword to be taken to the right source file

- method names and variables aren't listed in the outline, the most that we normally get is includes list and even that is not always compelete. this is a shame since even some of the most simple editors can at least list the function and method
     names in the current file.

- sometimes you think everything is working when you do a new install, but when you reopen your project its back to the old symptoms of not working

The indexed that we are using is the 'fast indexder'. Are there any known issues that will
trip up the indexer, that can be corrected from a user's perspective?

Andre
