[BUG] Outline keeps getting stuck in an infinite loop [message #108793] Sat, 03 July 2004 22:54 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Using Eclipse-3.0 (GTK version) and CDT-2.0 on Fedora Core 2 Linux using
j2sdk1.4.2, as soon as I make the slightest change to a file the Outline
window starts flashing like mad and CPU load maxes out. It seems that
the outline function is stuck in an infinite loop trying to update for
the change I have made. Sometimes, but not always, the symptoms
disappear when I save the file. Removing the outline from the display
does not cure the problem once it has started.

Killing the editor (i.e. closing the file) and reopening it results in
an outline display without the looping behaviour (until the next change
is made).

How is the loop infinite if you are able to close the editor?
Please raise a defect @ bugs.eclipse.org on CDT and explain your scenario,
your configuration and hopefully with a snippet of source code that causes
the problem.

Thanks

I would suppose that "multi tasking" is the answer to this question.
One thread being in an infinite loop doesn't stop other threads from
doing work - it just makes it difficult for them to get CPU access.

OK.

the reason why I ask is that "infinite looping" in the outline or editor
usually locks the UI thread, and thus makes it impossible to close the
editor.

Some editing functionality is lost when the (let's call it "apparent")
"infinite looping" occurs (e.g. cut and copy don't work while the
looping is occurring) but not all (e.g. paste works and I can type into
the editor and save the file to disk). Closer inspection of the load
meter shows that the system isn't totally maxed out so it's
possible/likely that there's a short pause between each loop.

I think that the association with change is significant because opening
an editor on exactly the same file (with the change included) and the
outline is created without any problems but as soon as I make the
slightest change the looping starts again.
