Bug ID: 377389
Summary: background parser hogs memory and CPU while working
with git
Product: kdevelop
Version: 5.0.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: code completion
Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: b...@gmx.com
Target Milestone: ---
The background parser automatically starts as soon as I switch git branches.
This makes it difficult to work with git while KDevelop is open. For example,
when switching to another branch then merging a branch into that, the
background parser will have to parse the project twice, but I only need it to
run after I am done with a series of git operations. Stopping the background
parsing after each step is not practical, as it slows down my system
dramatically as soon as the background parser starts. I can think of two
workarounds:
1. Add an action to KDevelop to suspend/resume background parsing that could be
bound to a global keyboard shortcut. This would require the user to remember to
use it before starting to work with git.
2. Add an optional timer to delay the start of the background parser. However,
this could get annoying when all that the user needs to do is switch to a
different branch.
