internal error during c++ indexing - what to do? [message #723105]

Hi-

In the last day any time that the C++ indexer has been invoked, I've gotten a message box with the following message from eclipse:

'Initialize Indexing' has encountered a problem. An internal error occurred during "Initialize Indexing". Under details it shows:

java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException

On the workspace log window, I can click on this error and get the full java stack dump:

java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException

at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.PDOMManager$3.run(PDOMManager.java:717)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55)

Any idea if this is a problem that I can fix on my end as an eclipse user? It looks like from the stack dump (and the keyword loadDatabase I see in it) that it is looking in some database file somewhere... Any chance that I could delete this file and the problem might just "go away"? If so, where would I find the file?

We are running Eclipse build 20100218-1602, Eclipse CDT version 6.0.2.201002161416.

Thanks for any help you can give,

How about googling for "Eclipse C++ indexer problem"?

Sounds to me like a known JVM bug. Try a different JVM.
