CCSv4 I Cannot edit structures

Hello,

I have run into a pretty serious issue.  CCSv4.2.4.00032 locks up on me every time i try to edit a structure. I cannot seem to get past this.

 

this lock up occurs when i:

-if i write "structureName." and push the right arrow button

-if i write "structureName.field = " and wait more than 1/2 a second

-if i copy ".field" to the end of "structureName"

i don't seem to have as much problem when i write "field = data;" and copy "structureName." to the beginning

what can i do?

    Hello,

    One thing you can try is to disable source scanning.   You can do this under Project->Properties->C/C++ Indexer

    I have attached a screen shot.   Try with this off and let me know how it turns out.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

    I turned the indexer off (i didn't see a screenshot) and it still locked up after i turned it off

    i found content assist and turned off everything i could.  now it doesn't lock up. 

     

    i don't get any assist with what fields are in the structure but code composter did a shitty job of that anyway

    Yes, the older Eclipse tools that CCS v.4.0 is based on make that particular intellisense feature extremely annoying since the IDE will freeze for 20-30 seconds (for me, YMMV) while it is scanning through all the files (presumably).

    For what it's worth, though, with CCS v.5.1 and the newer tools, the issue has been resolved and it works very well!

    I'm having the same problem; Code Composer freezes ("thinks") for 20 seconds or so as it's trying to pull up the list of member functions, etc. for a given object.  I tried disabling the "C/C++ Indexer" but that doesn't seem to have helped. 

    What other settings do I have to modify to completely disable the Content Assist feature?

    Thanks,

    Jeff

    Window->Preferences

    C/C++ -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Auto Activation

     

    there should be 3 check boxes there, those relate to structures.  uncheck all 3 and it will behave much nicer.
