I am editing a project and the CDT always hangs - the CPU goes to 100%
and that lasts very long time making me unable to go on. I deactivated
everything I can find (C++ Indexer and Content Assist parsing) but the
problem goes on. I was not able to deactivate the outline view (closing
it doesn't seem to matter) and it could be the reason for the problem,
because when it is flickering sometimes there are not even keyboard
inputs accepted. There is a syntax check making little red wavelines - I
remember activating it, but I forgot how and now failed to deactivate
it. Does anyone know how to deactivate these things and is there
something more I can stop wasting my time?
I think it is a fundamental problem of this editor giving user inputs
lowest priority. For example inputs should stop content assist instead
of beeing ignored until something was found. No background activity
should be able to prevent user from editing text.

Ed,
We've run into similar problems attempting to use Eclipse as an IDE for
porting a very large project: almost 3,000 .cpp files, and 1600 header
files.
Our solution has been to move away from using Eclipse in our day to day
work, and use hand-crafted makefiles instead -developers just use their
editor of choice on any given platform. Our productivity has jumped at
least 10 fold.
I think Eclipse/CDT just wasn't designed with large projects (and large
files) in mind. .
We're still *hoping* that we'll be able to do enough piece-meal debugging in
Eclipse to get us past the initial hump of "runs,... but maybe not
correctly". Where we go from there, I'm not certain. Either a commercial
grade debugger or just slugging it out with gdb from the command line.

I'm productive, but thats not the dimension of my work. ;o)

I used two commercial systems before, Borland C++ 5.01 (calling it Body
Count PlusPLus) and VC 6. This time Eclipse is much better than BC and
lacks a bit compared to VC 6 editor. But the G++ doesn't enrage me with
tons of STL warnings and non standard C++ and because of writing very
fast, content assist often is more disturbing, than helping.
Eclipse is a very ambitious project and it seems to me, the CDT guys had
been a little late, when Eclipse 3.0 appeared - I know how things like
that are going. ;o)
Recapitulating I would say, there are some problems and some things to
learn, before using Eclipse really productive, but I had similar
problems using commercial systems and I think Eclipse is going to be a
very good alternative. Looking at the whole system (now using only non
commercial development tools) I'm more productive than ever before.

I agree. I find myself rooting for Eclipse/CDT to succeed (it's a very cool
project), and get upset when it fails. A lot like being a parent to
teenagers... or like being a NY Jets fan <g>.
