I'm working on some C++ for school and a few seconds after i open a project and try to start working i get the spinning beachball and xcode stops responding completely. I tried restarting the comptuer and everything. I'm running xcode version 2.2.1 with Mac OSx 10.4.5 on a iMac G5 (iSight). Is there anything I can do to fix this?
thanks,
Justin

Does Xcode freeze when you open one particular project or does it freeze when you try to open any project? If it freezes on one project, you most likely have a corrupted project file. Creating a new project would fix the problem.
If Xcode freezes when opening any project, the best thing to do would be to uninstall Xcode and reinstall it. There is an uninstall script in Developer > Tools called uninstall-devtools.pl. You have to run the script from the Terminal application.
I just uninstalled Xcode and reinstalled it, started a new project and started rewriting the program from scratch. And its still freezing, the weird part is it only freezes when I go to finish the condition of a while statement. it freezes at the exact same point everytime. I just didn't notice it before.
I have a similar problem, but with a trivial file:
I just create a file named "a.h" with TextEdit, and it only
contains the following 2 characters:
A<
This would be the start of a template. If I click on
the file in the finder, xcode starts, the beach ball
appears and stays. Xcode is running always at 95% cpu
load and is not responding any more.
Sampling with the activity monitor reveals that xcode
is busy in [PBXSourceLexer peekToken]
Note that the problem does also appear if I create an
new *.h file within an empty project and type the
characters interactively.
I first encountered this when typing in
template<typename T> A<
(interestingly the problem only appeared at the second
less character)
After this happened in xcode 2.2 I upgraded to 2.2.1,
but the problem persists. It does not show up, if the
template is complete, like
I'm also having the same beachball problem. I also acknowledge that it happens after typing a comparison operator < such as
if(v< [crash]
Has anyone came out with a sollution for this ? Already tampered with the code sense options and nothing happens...
Strange thing : problem just started yeasterday, after installing sec. update 006-2. But since there are older threads, I don't know if it is related to it.
