CEDET

Hello all!

For those of you having trouble with the mail I send, I have copied the =
text of this mail into a .txt file and attached it. :-)


I'm using cedet beta3b and ecb 2.26

Remember the "methods buffer clearing/going blank with ECB" that =
several of us reported? Well, I remember at least one other person =
other than myself seeing this.

Anyway, I have some more data about this.=20

Now to my "insights":

I have two files:  javier.c and siutimerCnst.h

I open javier.c in emacs with ECB already active.

javier.c consists of the following:

#include "siutimerCnst.h"

tulong siuMIPSTotalCycles  =3D 0;

tulong siuMIPSIsrCycles    =3D 0;

int isrTimerLastTime =3D 0;

/* Nothing past this point */


siutimerCnst.h is an empty file. ( by the way, this problem happens =
when it is not empty, I'm just trying to make the simplest test case I =
can.)

When I open javier.c, the methods buffer shows the "Includes" and =
"Variables" tag headers. Everything is fine.
Please note that "tulong" is a typdef of unsigned long int that is used =
in our software.

If I move the cursor to the "int  isrTimerLastTime =3D 0;" declaration =
and place it on the "int" I see the following in the echo area:  =
Integral Primitive Type: (-2147483648 to 2147483647)   and the methods =
buffer is still intact.
I guess semantic outputs this "Integral ..." ??=20

I can cause the methods buffer to go blank by putting the cursor on any =
non-whitespace character/word in javier.c, other than "int". When I =
move the cursor off "int" and onto "tulong", "isrTimerLastTime", =
"siuMIPSTotalCycles", or "siuMIPSIsrCycles" the cursor will sit there =
for about .5 to 1 second and then the methods buffer goes blank. Even =
if I put it on the #include it happens. If I have the *Message* buffer =
open in another window as I put the cursor in a "non-safe" place, I see =
the following:=20

Fontifying siutimerCnst.h... (regexps.......................)

The methods buffer goes blank directly following this message printing =
out!!

If I rebuild the methods buffer while the cursor is on tulong, for =
example, I see it redisplay for a second. Then is spits out the same =
"Fontifying...." message in the *Message* buffer and it goes blank. If =
I now move the cursor to be on the word "int" and then rebuild, =
everything is fine and I do not see the "Fontifying..." message.

This is really, really strange to me.

Now it gets even more interesting... if I comment out the #include =
"siutimerCnst.h" , the methods buffer does not clear out and I do not =
see the "Fontifying..." message when I put the cursor on tulong.

Since I'm completely ignorant of the semantic code I'm not sure that I =
can debug this any further. Someone must have some sort of idea what is =
going wrong...or at least where to look.

It seems to me that semantic is trying to search(or do something) with =
the .h files that included in the source file. By doing so, it causes =
methods buffer to go blank. Why does this "Fontifying..." message not =
happen when I put the cursor on "int"???

Okay. This email has become way to long. I'm really sorry about that.

Someone please help!!  :-)
