problem with source navigator when run on linux kernel sources...

problem with source navigator when run on linux kernel sources...

[Raj, Ashok]

Hello.

I tried both the 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 against linux sources, after it starts
creating the project, one of the sub processes
cbrowser??? seems to just spin for ever. the progress bar shows 6% and never
moves. Have you tried the snavigator on the linux tree? on small projects it
seems ok. i would really like to use it on the kernel sources..

if you get this to work or know of a workaround, please let me know.

btw: i tried running strace on it, and it did not print anything, seems like
its spinning somewhere in the code.

Hi,

What version of the kernel source tree are you trying to parse?  That should
make it possible to reproduce.

I've had the same problem, only on NT 4.0. It's dbimp. Goes into a loop and
pegs the cpu. Cannot reproduce at will. Happens one out of eight or nine
times. Reparsing same project. 560,000 plus lines. Does not happen on
smaller projects or subprojects. Only when combining subprojects into a
larger 500,000+ lines of code. May not be memory-related because the
machine(s) (PCs) on which this is happening both have 512 meg real and 1 gig
virtual.
