C/C++ indexer takes too too much time to complete its task [message #165610] Thu, 09 March 2006 14:58 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm working in a project with a large amount of source files (more than
1000).
The indexing of C/C++ files takes along time to complete. One single file
takes several minutes. Is there some tips or webpages,previous topics, etc
where I can get information in order to improve the C/C++ Indexer
perfomance?


I am using Eclipse 3.1 with CDT 3.0.1 on a P4 2.4 GHZ , 512 Mb RAM

Thanks for your attention,

André Oriani.

Unfortunately, them's the breaks. The best way to improve the indexer's
performance would be to boost your RAM size, and also boost the amount
of memory used by the VM when Eclipse starts (this is buried somewhere
on the Preferences pane).

The best trick I've seen on this is to do whatever you must to keep the
indexer running in system memory, and not in your page/swap file on disk.

do not use "Full Indexer" in large projects, use CTags instead. after the
first run per day it's rather fast (at least compared to "full").
