Ctrl-I, Ctrl-F1 stop working after a while

Hello all,

using CVI 2013sp2. After working a while on source code (multiple modifications, save and debug runs), the Ctrl-I and Ctrl-F1 start to behave erratically. Some existing functions are found, but others are not anymore. Or it just goes to the declaration and not the definition. I have to quit and restart the IDE every hour or so because of this annoying problem. We are talking a project with 200 source files and 30k lines of code, so not something gigantic.

 

I remember having had this problem on older versions, but much less commonly.

Thanks.

Hi gdargoud,

 

Have you seen this post? Other users have seen this issue before, and this thread includes a detailed explanation of why this might be happening.

 

Best,

Yes, same issue. It's hard to tell what triggers it. But I think changing the code while having the debugger stopped/running without recompiling is probably the most likely possibility. Particularly if it gets change to something that won't compile. The thing is that Ctrl-I/F1 still work on some keywords, it goes to the declaration on others and completely fails on the rest.

 

I guess it would be nice if the source code browser had a little symbol that said "incomplete database" or somesuch.
