I thought I'd post this in case other people are having a similar problem. It appears that there is a problem with the C Development Tools that ship with the Eclipse IDE. If code of the following structure appears in a source file and the environment tries to parse the file (just saving or opening it is enough) then the java virtual machine starts to consume 99% of CPU resources.
typedef struct
{
} FirstStruct;
struct SecondStruct
{
FirstStruct *FirstStruct;
};
void TestFunc(void)
{
FirstStruct *Dummy;
}
Although this is an artificial example, it occured with some real life code that I had ported to NIOS II. Renaming the line "FirstStruct *FirstStruct;" to "FirstStruct *pFirstStruct;" solves the problem.
Can anyone else confirm that this is a problem?
