Re: [cdt-dev] CDT Build - What does "Updating Project..." actually do?

[Vladimir Hirsl <vhirsl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

No, this is something else. Scanner
configuration discovery has different messages: "Invoking command..."
and "Processing discovered scanner configuration" which run as
the last step of the build process but before the project is updated as
a result of the build.

Thanks,

Chad, 
You are right; the '.d' files are purely a MBS artifact. It may be the
auto-discovery mechanism kicking in, trying to reconcile the include and
defines for the project with what is currently known. Have you tried disabling
that feature (assuming your settings are stable and correct)?

Thanks Sean,

That provides some insight for the MBS side.  But, these are Standard
Make
projects.  Our makefile does manage .d files, but I can;t imaging
the
standard make project processes them, or even knows about them!  Is
it
doing something different in the standard make project case?

Chad,
Assuming MBS and the GCC toolchain, the build is post-processing the
source-level dependency files (.d files that are generated at build-time
for make). In order to support the 2.X GCC compilers which did not have
a
full set of dependency-generating flags, the makefile generator has to
go
over the generated '.d' files and make sure that all dependencies on header
files are also specified as targets with no pre-reqs. For example:

foo.o: foo.c ../includes/foo.h /usr/include/stdio.h ...

../includes/foo.h:
/usr/include/stdio.h:
...

If this is not done, the make will fail the next time it is run and a
header file is not where it is supposed to be. If you are running the GCC
3.0 or above, it actually has flags that generate these dummy targets for
the header files automatically. I can walk you through the process of
changing the makefile generator to take advantage of them. The
post-processing step becomes a NOP at that point.

All,

Some of our users of the CDT are complaining about poor performance.  Well,
there are many contributors to this, but one in particular is a post-build
delay. After the makefile has been built, the build continues to run for
a
while with the "Updating Project..." message.  What is it
doing?  With some
of our projects, even if trivial builds, this can take 30 seconds or longer
(granted, there are a lot of files in the project).

For this particular project, there may be 500 C/C++ files, but only a
handful are used for the build.  There are likely thousands of files
total.
These files are coming from a linked resource.  It is a standard make
project.

If I can determine what is occuring at this time, I can begin to eliminate
bottlenecks (is it the network, the CM system, etc?).

Thanks,
