Would be cool to be able to pause VAX parsing for some time or until it is enabled again. My laptop is speeding up fans when using much CPU and that interferes with my conversations of Skype due to background noise. Also it seems like parsing does stop during the build, which slows it down. Would be totally cool if pause option also paused IntelliSense parsing :). |

Last post does not solve my problem completely, but it definitely helps to reduce the cases when this problem occurs. Thanks. |

You might find this page useful:

it describes a registry setting to try and stop VA and IDE intellisense "clashing". |

I have put in a feature request for this to see what the developers make of it:
case=63185
However, I have additional questions and suggestions:
quote:
it usually takes more than half an hour to parse it
Is this with VS intellisense also parsing?
Have you considered to turn off VS intellisense altogether?
VS2010
Tools -> Options... -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Disable intellisense
Disabling in VS2005-2008 and the side-effects of turning off intellisense can be found here:
http://docs.wholetomato.com?W133
I am wondering whether disabling intellisense would speed up parsing tremendously. |

Since my project is pretty large (Chromium), it usually takes more than half an hour to parse it or even longer if I start a build. Also closing the IDE is undesired since it takes 3-4 minutes just to load a solution back. Unloading can be skipped using Task Manager  .
Here is my scenario. My project is building (takes about an hour) and Visual Assist X is parsing it in parallel (takes about 2 hours together with building). Usually I receive several calls on Skype at this time and I would like to pause both build and VAX to slow down the fans and have a short conversation. I can stop the build, but not VAX :(. I have to kill the IDE and load solution again later.
It is an exotic request indeed. But it shouldn't be too hard to implement a pause button, should it? |

Very exotic request 
Recently we introduced the using of multiple cores in parsing, which is magnificent  but laptops tend to sweat when it comes to using multiple threads for longer calculations...
Is this a common problem? VA should pre-parse everything when you first load the project (which should not take a long time) and later, VA just loads the symbol database. Long parsing (and using multiple cores) also happens when you use Find References, but that can be stopped.
I hope it was a one-off problem
You can exit VS as a workaround. |
