Code Insight index location to ram disk?

[bdw_nz20 11]

Just a general query.

 

On opening a project and coding I get Code Insight indexing the complete project each time it is opened.

 

There is a setting on the IDE to restart the Code Insight on project start which is fine.

 

I have a 2G RAM disk drive which the project is configured to write the intermediate outputs to which is working fine.

 

I'm just wondering if its possible or a good idea to get the CodeInsight to write to the RAM disk since the indexing happens all the time as well.

 

Just wondering if people have thoughts on this or not ?

did you try change to "Classic" mode?

in Help say that you can create a "New" LSP setup, did you see this?

in Registry, you can change some definitions, did you see this? Filing Bugs and Log Files

Thanks I have seen that in the past but not looked at that docs for a while.

 

I'll have a play around, a test C++ project I have just been testing with a directory link for the __astcache file to the RAM disk.

 

Working so far, I'll have to see if there is any speed improvement but at least it might be saving some disk writes.

 

I have a fast m2 drive so it may not make a huge difference apart.

did you try this: 

• re-direct the "original" folder where LSP store its file to your RAM-drive?
  • in MSWin10 I use "MKLink" in my "saves-original-folder ... in games", then, all files will be stored (save) in another disk/folder"
  • mklink /d /j "c:\folder_source"  "d:\my_target"     // d=directory   j=junction   == Symbolic link

yep mklink was what I used.

[programmerdelphi2k 235]

how do you did with this scenary? (command-line?)

[bdw_nz20 11]

Not sure what the scenary refers to but the __astcache mklink was done through command prompt if thats what you mean.

[programmerdelphi2k 235]

no, what was the "LSP" folder used in your command-line? can you show your command-line?

[bdw_nz20 11]

mklink /D <project_path>/__astcache D:/

 

Run in command prompt as Admin.

 

As mentioned this particular project is C++ related so does differ potentially to what Delphi would be generating.
