CCS/EK-TM4C1294XL: How to abort legacy migration/index progress lock ups

Guru 55943 points
Part Number: EK-TM4C1294XL


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

CCS7.3 project progress indicator will not ever abort/end sessions click on red square (grey), still keeps running after IDE is closed have to kill it on desk top. Renamed project, delete it from project folder tree, import under new name and also delete CCS metadata *.logs. Then project will compile do index updates but next day on first compile IDE returns to very same issue; progress indicator hangs perpetually trying to Migrate an unknown legacy project, index or calculate declarations of first open *.h file tab. Same issue occurred with this project CCS5.4 in completely different workspace.

Launching CCS7.3 with -clean switch seems to do nothing for CCS7.3, why? 

No help from Eclipse: https://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fcdt_c_indexer.htm

  • Befuddles my mind why we can not simply Kill the hung progress session when the index or specific session managers get so very confused. Screw parking or sleeping the BAD call, Kill the damn thing. Don't log a bad progress directive (phantom) as it returns the very next day date change. This issues seems to be some kind of history bug in the ide. 

    Procedure to arrest progress phantoms: Rename project in tree, close CCS, open CCS delete marker folder, close CCS, open CCS import project under a new name change the include paths under Build general paths/symbols.. 

  • Wasting so much time with single project (hair ripping crazy IDE behavior) when try to compile the same issue repeats. Where is the legacy project compiler (5.2.8) keeps referring and indexer obviously chokes on even after index was previously & successfully rebuilt?

  • Part of the problem seems to stem from project import wizard is not changing directory path name in (.ccsproject) for the newly imported project!

    Instead newly imported project tree name retains the Renamed project path (.ccsproject) though the wizard then imports the project back to the original name (C: directory files) and not the previously Renamed project prior to deletion only from the project tree. 

  • Must be some kind of CCS project issue - had to delete project from CCS project tree stop using it......
