I think this may be a bug. I have what seems to be a very similar
problem.
The culprit is an old project brought over from PB. The first time I
access a fresh copy of the project it opens, but if indexing is turned
on I get a string of error messages and Xcode crashes. With indexing
turned off I can open the project, use the CVS access and other
features.
However, if I close the project and try to reopen it, even with
indexing turned off, Xcode will hang up and then crash as described in
Alex's message. Inspection of the crash log shows that at the point it
broke, the call stack was 508 frames deep!! It would appear to be
looping until it runs out of some resource.
Deleting the indexes makes no difference. Restoring a fresh copy of
the old PB project allows it to be opened once as before, but it will
still crash on a second opening.
This is a complex GNU Autoconf configured project (see www.swarm.org)
it contains source files in C, Objective-C, Assembler (for many
platforms), Elisp and shell scripts. Many of the sources for
compilation are generated during early stages of the build process.
My suspicion is that Xcode is trying to do some sort of dependency
analysis, but is getting hung up because so much of the source is not
there until the project is part built. Still, it should emit some
problem messages and disable features, if it cannot cope with the code.
It should not crash!
Has anyone else seen anything like this? We need a simple test case
for Apple if this is a bug.
