CCSv4 I Cannot edit structures

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

Glad to hear you managed to find the correc thing to turn off.  

All the best with CCS.

Best Regards,

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.

Sweet, thanks!
