I installed Eclipse (Galileo) and CDT on my Linux platfrom to replace KScope. I imported my project by creating a clean Makefile Project.

In KScope, I could right-click on a variable, function, whatever and quickly search for references, etc. If I do the same in Eclipse, it does not work, except if I do a Search Text. But then, Eclipse does a linear File Search, which is very slow and which misses for some reasons (because of #ifdef’s ?) the correct line numbers.

Can somebody advice me how to
– how to update the index database of a C-Project, or
– how to speed up the search?

Or is there a Plugin that provides same or similar functionalities as in KScope?

Thanks,

Stefan

    Try F3 or click on the variable/etc. with the left mouse button while you press Ctrl.

    [EDIT] [stefangachter]1 found something else:

    I figured out that Eclipse switches off the live parsing for huge files (see Window | Preferences | C/C++ | Editor | Scalability). Therefore, the live parsing did not work for certain files. So, if you have problems with live parsing, then check the scalability options.
