CodeLite IDE

Hello,

I use latest CodeLite 4.0.5589. The binary was downloaded from the official site. OS – Windows 7. (I used 3.5.x before and encountered the same problem).

When I use CScope, the responses for any request are very slowly. Since the project sources are placed on a server, I checked traffic between PC and the server. I run “Create CScope database” and then “CScope->Find this C symbol”. As I saw, all files were scanned (during “Find this C symbol”). Also, I saw that every request update files cscope.out and cscope_file.list. As far as I remember, CScope should use created database rather than scan files again and again.

What may be done to find and fix the problem?

Thanks in advance

It seems that the option 'Update Db if stale' is causing the slowdown on my machine. disabling it - fixes the problem

You can disable it from the 'Cscope' tab from the "Output View"

Hello Eran,

I tried the work-around and CScope really works fast now. But what is the source of the problem? If I am searching through the code, I am sure that nothing is changed. Why CodeLite (or CScope) does decide DB is stale? May it be connected to another problem that I observe: after Windows weak-up I have to run “Workspace->Retag Workspace (Full)”? Otherwise “Find Resource” (Ctrl-Shift-R) works slowly.

Thanks in advance

I am not sure how its related. Anyways, I did not notice this slow down ( did you try restarting codelite ? )

It seems like that its cscope fault.. If the flag "Update Db if stale" is enabled, codelite will *not* pass the "-d" option to cscope, from the manpage:

-d
Do not update the cross-reference.

It seems that when the -d flag is not passed to cscope, its pretty slow...
I will change this behavior so that "-d" will be passed by default (i.e. the option "Update Db if stale" is disabled by default)

Now I see that they are unrelated. I will try to learn more about the phenomenon and open separate topic for it once I have more information.
