|
|
has anyone else noticed that the Delphi 2005/7 code completion takes a
really long time to pop? (around 10 seconds)
Then it is fast for a couple more times then it slows way down
again,like it is reloading itself from the disk drive.

I'm getting that now on a Intraweb project, its the first time I've ever
noticed it this much, actually takes awhile to compile a project, not sure
why.

Here, it delays for the first time. Then (if you're compiling with |
packages, which helps a lot for speed of CC, but does disasters to
breakpoints) it's mostly OK, at least until you recompile.
Then, story repeats itself - if you're kind of programmer like me, who's
used (perhaps spoiled with Pascal compiler speed <G>) to frequent
"write-compile-correct-compile-correct_again-now_it_works" sequences,
it's very annoying.

Same here, although I don't think that matters. |

For me, the more 3rd party components I add, the slower it gets; it's the
Delphi hourglass virus.
My answer: codefactor. Here is my blog entry on it.

I loved the part about Capt/Admiral Jake :-)
Thanks for the info on that, it looks pretty cool.

Yes. i've been reporting that for 5+ years, it used to any the hell out of
me. Sadly, noone was ever able to reproduce my problems (even though i saw
it on clean Delphi installs)

Are you sure you aren't talking about CodeInsight, not CodeCompletion?
CodeInsight is the hint that comes up when you rest the mouse cursor on a
symbol. Since D6 or earlier I've seen this behavior where I'm happily coding
along and then I accidentally rest the mouse cursor over a symbol and Delphi
goes off into lala-land doing a background compile that freezes it up until
it is done. In my newsreader project this can actually take far longer than
ten seconds, an excruciatingly long period of time.
This feature can of course be turned off, by turning off CodeInsight or
CodeCompletion, but then you have to do without them, at least in the case of
CodeInsight. I think you can always summon CodeCompletion with a Ctrl-Space
keystroke.

It might be very well formed opinion based
on an uncanny grasp of the facts, but it
remains opinion nevertheless.

Yes, I always wondered why Borland couldn't get this right.

Thanks for the tip! Looks great - but wondering if someone made this
for a while. Thanks!

What would be nice is if Delphi could cache the entire index into RAM,
and not hit the disk everytime. I'd be willing to give up 10, 20, 50 or
ANY amount of RAM to stop these freezes.
It could be an option to load into memory, for lower end systems too.

In my experience, this is actually something that has improved in Delphi
2005. But I haven't loaded D2005 up with as many components as I have D7
either.

You're welcome. I can't say enough good things about CodeFactor.
I don't understand what you mean by "but wondering if someone made this for
a while"?

I think he meant CodeInsight, but they are often easily confused and commonly
mixed up.

Yeah, it's awful...really drives me nuts. With any non-trivial project it
gets worse and worse.

I'm pretty sure that I've turned it off and it still happens. I really wish
there was a way to at least escape/break out of it.

|
Isn't that the CodeInsight keystroke? ;)

I've loaded up D2005 with as many components and add-ins as I had D7, and it
still seem vastly improved to me. It becomes a bother only a fraction of the
time it would in D7.

Even if he talked about CodeInsight, I have problem with
CodeCompletion. Type the object name, hit the period, see the hourglass
for about six to seven seconds, and then the CodeCompletion window
appear.
