QtCreator Is Getting Slower...
-
Has anyone else had issues with the speed of the editor in
QtCreatoras well as other features?I have an application which is probably ticking over 500+ source files and maybe 50,000 lines of code. Each time I open a source file, it takes minutes to rebuild the
symbolsdrop down box for the current source file and autocomplete often just doesn't even bother to work. TheClangstuff doesn't seem to help with the speed either.For example, the current file I'm working on has nearly 1500 lines of code. The autocomplete just doesn't work on this file at all. I've closed it and re-opened the file, given QtCreator 3 minutes and I'm still waiting...
I'm running on Windows 10, 3.3GHz x64 with 16.0GB of RAM. Older versions of QtCreator seem to run much more smoothly than the later versions (running 4.8.0).

@webzoid
sadly that's the new clang code model, it's nice and "better" for smaller projects but falls apart - at the moment at least - in bigger projects/files.You can however disable it.
Take a look at this thread, we discussed it there previously

The clang code model is definitely slowing down creator. Did you try to switch off clang code model?
I have a session with a couple of larger projects. That takes a while, but I can still tolerate. The machine runs apps 24/7 and I leave creator open. Never bothered to check the number of files nor code lines. However, with gut feelings I would say it is significantly smaller. autocomplete is useless for some time already.

This is my experience with Clang on Windows too. On Linux however, it is much faster. Just my gut feeling...
