Re: [cdt-dev] CDT Indexer
I would do that, but I can't point to a single point of origin. Our project 
has over 300 source files and from what I can tell not even the links
between files are working, i.e. clicking on an include directive won't
take me to the right file.

Are there any logs generated, or that can be generated, by the fast
indexer so I can see any warnings that aren't recorded by the UI
that are indexer related.

I believe that the quickest way to improve the indexer and the outline
view, is to create defects and to provide sample code snippets that show 
the failures that you are seeing.

Without the defects, we are likely to fix the parser for problems that
we do know about, and you will still have errors in your usage of CDT.

Actually, the outline isn't driven from the index. It is driven by an
older version of the parser which doesn't handle things like macros very well. We are working on upgrading the outline to at least use the index 
to parser more accurately.

Sorry, but I don't think there any workarounds for the outline view.

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.

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
