Eclipse clean search index autocomplete

Hello Lynn Delmerico,

                       As your friend is using eclipse then there is a option to clean the index from there. All you need is to clear the CDT internal index. After that you have to rebuilt the application and you will see that it can work for you as you want. Right click on your current project after that you have to go to the index menu and go internal of it after that you need to rebuilt it with your modified files.

Eclipse clean search index autocomplete

Hello,

Ask your friend to try control + space short cut (for autocomplete). Alternatively ask him to enable the indexer and rebuild the index. Also ask him/her to verify that the file has a .c suffix and that the indexer is on. I think, not sure, that he needs to then run eclipse with the -clean flag and the autocomplete will work.
