On a fresh installation of CodeBlocks 16.01 on Windows:
When I just open a file without a project, code-completion doesn't work for various file types (python, CMake).
Opening a C-file makes it work even in the non-C-files.
In a gcc (GNU GCC Compiler) project code-completion works fine for all files, but when I change the compiler in the project to something else (tested MSVC 2010, GNU Fortran) and restart, code completion again doesn't work for all file types.
The error message I obtain on hitting Ctrl+space is:
"The parser is still parsing files"
In the debug console I see:
The Parser is still parsing files. > Reasons:
- still need to mark files as local
You'll find the complete Debug log attached.
Have you set the correct extension filter for files to be considered when parsing?
I dont know if this setting is relevant for other projects than C/C++ but check Settings/Editor and choose "code completion" and the third tab.
