SubMonitor usage in deep recursion chains [message #335056]

In the API, it is said that the SubMonitor is more efficient in deep
recursion chains.

Does somebody know how to correctly report progress in recursive code
combined with loops and conditions?

Below is an example of what I am doing right now. It has been simplified
to show only the behavior. I dont what I am doing wrong but I don't have
any progress.

void method1(IProgressMonitor monitor){
SubMonitor parent = SubMonitor.convert(monitor, 1);

method2(parent);

if(monitor != null){
monitor.done();
}
}

void method2(SubMonitor monitor){
int count2 = 10;
monitor.setWorkRemaining(count2);
for(int i=0; i<count2; i++){
if(condition){
method3(monitor.newChild(1));
}
monitor.setWorkRemaining(--count2);
}
}

void method3(SubMonitor monitor){
int count3 = 13;
monitor.setWorkRemaining(count3);
for(int i=0; i<count3; i++){
if(condition){
method2(monitor.newChild(1));
}
monitor.setWorkRemaining(--count3);
}
}

This code reports the messages in each method but the progress is not
visible on the bar.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You should pass the monitor with newChild(1)

Don't call done() on the given monitor. See the javadoc of SubMonitor.

You should create a local SubMonitor as you did above.

Same here, you need a local SubMonitor. This way, the calling method
does not have to know how much work is needed.
