RE: [cdt-dev] Problems with indexing/searching

Hi Larry,
it was the wrong bug, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=147080
dealt with your actual problem and it was fixed.

In general the indexer still is far from perfect. With M4 we were able to
reduce the failure rate from 21% down to 8% (for indexing firefox 2.0).  
Indexing is not the only thing that needs our attention we are trying to
improve lot's of other stuff (build, editor, outline-view, content-assist, 
call- and type-hierarchy, ...).

I hope that we'll be able to adress more indexing problems in the 4.0 
release cycle and you can help us here:
Before we can fix a problem we have to understand it, and with indexing
this is not an easy thing. As Dave pointed out, you can save us from
doing this part of the work by tracking down a problem such that it can 
easily be reproduced with a small set of files. This way we have more
time to work on the actual fixes.

Markus.

Hi Markus,

Sorry for the improper use of this channel.  However, I did read through 
that bug and the discussion seemed to morph from "the indexer takes too 
long and gets wrong results" into "we need to add better tracing to the 
indexer."  The latter is what seems to have been done when the bug was 
closed.  The underlying issue (broken/long running indexer) seems to have 
been left behind.  Has it been moved to a new bug?  If so, I'll use that 
forum to comment further.

Thanks,
Larry.
