Hello,
I'm having trouble using XCode's code completion feature. Specifically,
some times it works and other times it doesn't even seem turned on, and
I can't figure out why this is. I can't seem to find anything in the
list archives to provide me with any clue, either.
The setup:
I've got a project using externally-generated makefiles. All
appropriate source and header files are included in the XCode project
file (I just added the entire source directory to the project as file
and folder references). I'm coding a plain-vanilla C/C++ command line
tool.
Code completion/indexing/etc. are all turned on. I know this because
sometimes, it works. When I'm typing, the ellipses appear, or the
completion appears, or the pop-down box appears, as appropriate.
Other times, when working in the same files, typing the same things, no
ellipses (etc.) will appear. I can press F5 to force autocompletion,
but this just cycles through matching symbols defined *in the current
file* -- no symbols from other files appear, no ellipses or drop-down
box appears, and so forth.
After some time of using XCode to edit various files, code completion
seems to magically turn itself on. Then it works just fine. But if I
quit, or close the project (or maybe even close an editor), completion
seems to turn itself off again for a while.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I can't figure out what's
going on, and it's quite aggravating. Have I misconfigured something?
Thanks,
