CCS v5.3 C/C++ Indexer runs indefinitely

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

I have a strange problem occurring in CCS v5.3. On one project, the C/C++ indexer gets to 14% and never completes. Within the project, if I access field names of a structure, CCS will completely hang, presumably by trying to auto-complete for me.

I have tried the following:

1) Clean the workspace by deleting all folders in it and re-importing the project.

2) Start up CCS with ccstudio.exe -clean

3) Cleaning the project.

Has anyone encountered this problem or know of a fix to get my development environment working again?

  • It looks like you have already tried the first things I would suggest in terms of cleaning/trying out a new workspace.

    My other suggestions would be to
    - try CCS 5.5 if possible. You can download and install it in a separate folder so have both CCS 5.3 and 5.5 side by side. Then import the same project into 5.5 and see if the issue persists.
    - disable the indexer just for this project if you can live without the indexer. Go to Project Properties->C/C++ General->Indexer, check the box for "Enable project specific settings" and then uncheck the box for "Enable indexer". This will disable the indexer just for that specific project.
