Re: [cdt-dev] How to restart the language provider scanner?

[Andrew Gvozdev <angvoz.dev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jan,
It is a bit more complicated than that. If you change project settings
in UI and rerun provider before saving the settings you are getting in
inconsistent state. Suppose the user cancels project settings changes.
You get old settings and provider results corresponding to
non-existent project state.

So, in current UI to rerun provider you would [Clear Entries] and use
[Apply] or [OK] button. [Clear Entries] will create a temporary copy
of the provider which has not been executed yet. [OK] button will save
the project settings and trigger reruns of not-executed providers. You
can inspect stack trace if you set breakpoint in
AbstractBuiltinSpecsDetector.execute() method.

Thanks,
Andrew
