Description Bernhard Merkle

2010-07-13 04:10:11 EDT

Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

I get the following NPE during the cdt-indexer runs on the headless build in CDT 7.0.

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.cdt.core.CCorePlugin.getCProjectDescription(CCorePlugin.java:667)
	at org.eclipse.cdt.make.internal.core.scannerconfig2.ScannerConfigInfoFactory2$ScannerConfigInfoSet.load(ScannerConfigInfoFactory2.java:98)
	at org.eclipse.cdt.make.internal.core.scannerconfig2.ScannerConfigInfoFactory2$ScannerConfigInfoSet.<init>(ScannerConfigInfoFactory2.java:92)


Reproducible: Always

Serious deja vu: bug 296115

I've seen this recently as well.  My previous theory was that this issue is caused by the job starting / running after cdt.core has shutdown.

Comment 2 Markus Schorn

2010-07-20 04:06:20 EDT

I assume that this issue is not caused by the indexer, is it? 
Bernhard, can you provide the full stack trace?

Comment 3 Yevgeny Shifrin

Hi,

I am working with CDT 7.0.0 and I had the same exception. Please refer to below info.

Thanks,
Yevgeny

Yevgeny: did you see this in a normal running eclipse, or in headless mode?

Hi James,

I am not familiar with eclipse headless mode, what does it mean? I assume I am running in normal mode. 

I am not sure it is related: I installed/updated several plug-ins in my IDE. Suddenly my C++ project started to do a full reindexing.

Thanks,
Yevgeny

Did you choose 'Restart' after updating the plugins, or did you carry on working?  If you carried on working it's possible the cdt plugins were shutdown leading to these NPEs...

Hi,

I restarted my eclipse after plug-ins update.

We have a similar NPE in our own plug-ins. Judging from the log, it occurred due to a workbench restart. Looking at the stack trace we have decided to not try to fix the NPE at the bottom of the stack trace, but at the UI code that causes the exception.

So I've also created a review for the exception listed in the comments here: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/150358/

Will need a CDT contributor to review the change.
