Re: [cdt-dev] CDT Indexer 
A very concise answer :)

In the meantime are there any known issues that will trip up the indexer
and that I can work around?

For example are you aware why in certain cases the indexer will provide
useful information and then stop providing anything more than minimal
includes in the outline. I could certainly analyse the probem myself, but 
if there are already known answers, then that would help me save some
time.

Subject: [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?
