[Qt-creator] turning off auto-complete?

[roberto.raggi at nokia.com]

Hi Ákos,

I have to say that your project is an interesting use case for Creator (and IDEs in general?). For example,

simple_session.cxx is just 46 loc

$ wc -l src/libmxp/src/simple_session.cxx 
      46 src/libmxp/src/simple_session.cxx

but the preprocessed version is ~150000 loc

$ gcc -E -Isrc/libmxp/include src/libmxp/src/simple_session.cxx |wc -l
  148870

So I'm not surprised that completing symbols is slow because we have to lookup an insane amount of `names' ;) but I agree with you, this is a bug in Creator and we will fix it.

Thanks for the report

ciao robe
