Collapsing regions bug

[Tamargo]

Hello,

I find the 'Collapse All' feature really usefull when creating large code files, but it seems to doesn't work correctly in very large files. I'm creating a program with a .c file with about 5000 lines (and it will be increased), and lots of functions. Since some weeks ago, when I use the Collapse All feature, it works, but if then I modify code inside a function and use collapse/expand, weird things begin to happen. Sometimes it happens without modifying any code, just collapsing/expanding individual functions.

I'm using XP SP2, CVI 8.5 in a laptop Toshiba Satellite, 1GB RAM, T2400 @ 1,83 GHz duo processor.

Here's an example:

The code reads like this:

 

Then, I collapse everything:

 

Finally, I expand and collapse again the function ConfPanelARChangeCB, and the function ConfigPanelSaveParams expands automatically in a wrong way (this kind of things doesn't happen always, just sometimes)

 

Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you,

Eduardo Tamargo (Spain)

Hello Eduardo,

I am trying to reproduce your problem but without any luck. I am using a file with 15000 lines and hundreds of functions. As I said, I can't get he problem to show on my machine.

If you would not mind, I could try to reproduce it with your specific file. In that case, please let me know where I can email you instructions on how to upload the file onto your National Instruments FTP server. I would use your file only to reproduce this problem and then I would delete it, I will not share the code with anybody.

Regards

Hello Eduardo,

it turns out it's actually even easier to submit files to National Instruments.

Once you upload the file to ftp://ftp.ni.com/incoming/, please let me know the file name and I'll look at it.

Note: files uploaded to ftp.ni.com/incoming cannot be viewed by other customers, only by employees of National Instruments.

Hello LDP,

The file is 'SpectrumStudio.c'. Maybe you can try to collapse all and then collapse/uncollapse different functions and watch if lower functions are shown correctly. I've just try to make it with some spececifical functions, but I can't find a pattern for tihs. I think maybe I have some file corrupted or out of RAM problems. You can also try to add blank lines inside a function without modifying regions limited by braces, and collapse again.

Thank you for your patience

Hello Eduardo,

I was able to reproduce the problem with your code, thank you for providing the file.

We are currently investigating the main cause and will work on a fix for it.

Thank you

LDP
