Hi,
Can somebody explain why the "C/C++ --> Indexer -->
Index unused headers" preference is off by default?
Indexing of unused headers may result in some files being
indexed out of context, which is probably not an issue in 8.1
since index now supports multiple variants of the same header
file.
It causes
inconvenience when I am adding a new header file (which isn't
included anywhere) and trying to use "Source --> Add
include" feature. Moreover, the context assistant doesn't work
properly in this case too. It isn't a very often problem,
however it is unclear for end-user why sometimes a newly added
classes and functions are not visible. The "C/C++ -->
Indexer --> Index source and header files opened in editor"
preference helps to resolve the described inconvenience too.
Why is it turned by default too?
Mostly for historical reasons. I vote for turning it on by
default. Does anybody object?
Thanks,
Anton
