Ah, OK. If you use a common header file in all your files and this header
cannot be properly parsed this could indeed cause problems ...

Try to activate
 Preferences->C/C++->Editor->Hovers->Enable Editor problem annotation

Maybe it helps you to locate the problem.

PS: Don't worry, you're not the only guy who has problems with the indexer.
Even most gcc header files cannot be properly parsed. But that's life and
I'm sure it will improve ...

At least the indexer doesn't produce any exceptions anymore ...
