Build Completes Then Waits? [message #741003]

Hi Guys,

I have noticed that the build of my C++ project appears to wait for longer than the build after the build completes. The progress bar appears to remain at 50% after the console output completes.

I am using indigoSR1 with CDT with Makefiles. We do not use managed build.

Is there anyway I can narrow down what the build is doing after the build completes? I have tried disabling the indexer, error parsers etc but cannot work it out.

Any suggestions on how to find a clue?

Regards,

Matt

Eclipse will refresh the workspace. As you are using your own Makefile Eclipse does not know which files were changed during the build. In Eclipse Indigo (latest release) you can limit the scope of folders to refresh. Open project properties->C/C++ Build and select the tab "Refresh policy". Here you can insert the folders that are actually modified during build.

Hi Axel,

Nice to chat again.

I had already tried this but it had no effect, but plausible. I did a test and found that if I reduced that number of files in the project that it did wait less, even though the setting is disabled.

Perhaps it is doing it anyway?

I have noticed that my projects properties page contains 'Environment' and a few others at different levels with the same content (corrupt?). I did recreate the project settings (at some expense) and this issue persists. Maybe this is a red herring and related to another problem I am experiencing between multiple large projects in the same workspace.

You can also limit the scope of the binary file parser in Project properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols->Output location

I had already tried this too. I spent some more time yesterday.

If in the case nothing is selected for refreshing, parsing etc, if there is a default imposed ?
If there is a difference between building a make target vs 'build project' ?

Perhaps any kind of refresh should be in a separate background process so as not to delay a run/debug ?

I am not sure if it is the indexer, but it happens even if it is disabled.
I am not sure if it is discovery, but it happens even if it is disabled.
