[cdt-dev] content assist not working

[Jesper Eskilson <jesper.eskilson@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just downloaded the new and shiny Ganymede release, and though I'd try 
to import our rather largish C++ project into CDT (as a Makefile-project).

Unfortunately, I'm a little disappointed about the content assist. For 
example:

> std::string foo;
> foo.<HERE>

If I type Alt+/ at "<HERE>", I'd expect to get a list of all methods in 
the std::string class, but I just get an empty list (I've managed at 
some time to get a partial list (2-3 elements) of members).

Functions don't seem to be picked up at all. Example:

> void my_foo_function()
> {
>   
> }
>
> void another_function()
> {
>   my_<HERE>
> }

Content assist at "<HERE>" does not give my anything at all.

I suppose the indexer is having trouble find definitions, but how do I 
figure out what the problem is.

(I tried switching on "Index all files", but that had no (or very 
little) descernible effect.)

I understand that C++-indexing is damn difficult (I work at a company 
making C++-compilers), but it would be nice if the indexer was better at 
giving feedback about what its doing and indicating what code isn't 
being indexed properly.
