Autocomplete stopped working [message #554287]

Hello there !

Well I downloaded eclipse PDT (yeah php ect) a while ago, and after installing the C/C++ plugin i started using eclipse for C.

After starting my computer sooner I noticed that CTRL+SPACE on a C source is making my eclipse freeze.
Tho Eclipse is totally freezed though it is flagged as "sleeping" in the running process ... I just don't understand.

I'm running on ubuntu 10.04, and well one hour after shutting down my computer (eclipse was running fine then) I restarted it with eclipse and auto-completion ain't working at all with C/C++.
I don't understand It was working fine one hour a ago I didn't change anything to my eclipse configuration (nor my ubuntu) since a week
It decided right now to stop working ! (This is madness !)

So anw, what can I do besides redownloading a clean eclipse and configure it again from scratch ?
Ty by advance for any help.

Regards.

Is Eclipse actually freezed and does not recover or does it take just a long time (several seconds)? Did you enter any characters before hitting CTR-SPACE?

I'm experiencing the same behavior...
and it looks like while eclipse is freezing it tries to download
something from the net (I noticed that on a slow connection)...

That sounds like rubbish to me. Eclipse never tries to download anything by itself. Only when you say so (e.g update). And code completion invoked by CTRL+SPACE will definitely not do anything on the net.

I tried this on a computer with adsl, and after a few seconds (I saw
some 400k peeks on gkrellm net monitor) code completion worked on STL
library classes (such as ostringstream)... it sounds strange to me as
well, but that's what I noticed...

by the way, I noticed that sourceware was contacted (using netstat), and
by googling I found this:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=318706

it doesn't look like rubbish to me ;)

Mea culpa!
I did not know about this (and I am using this plugin!) and did not expect something like this. Thanks for the hint.

however, it looks like it's an issue with linuxtools plugin, not cdt
itself :)
