Re: [ptp-user] C/C++ indexer for large software packets
Christoph,

Do you get the same behavior if the project is not synchronized (i.e. a regular C/C++ project)? If so, I would suggest posting this to the CDT forum, as they will be best able to answer questions about the indexer.

Regards,
Greg

Well, I found some sort of solution -
Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Indexer
* untick automatic indexing.
* untick "index source files not included in the build"
* untick "index unused headers"

 

Can anyone explain me why you would index ... and re-index ...
and re-index again and again ... source and header files
that are currently not used ?

 

I was including "boost 1.57.0" with zillions of class templates,
but my code only used a small subset of it - but apparently
*everything* in reach was indexed !
