Summary:	Assign Return Value to New Variable is very slow after Code Completion

Description Vladimir Voskresensky 2016-04-11 12:28:24 UTC

I type CastType->getType| in completion list I see
getTypeClassName() const char*
I select this entry and press ";" but hint "Assign Return Value to New Variable " appears only after ~4 sec, while I need it immediately, because it was clear that IDE already resolved what is inserted getTypeClassName()
Please, try to make IDE more responsive for such usecase:
- call completion
- type semi
- allow to press immediately Alt+Enter to assign return value to new variable

IDE uses parsing API.
There is no infrastructure that allows to implement this suggestion.
Your suggestion is a platform feature (not a bug). Please file a separate enhancement.

Now delay is:
- "file parsing time"+1000ms if "file parsing time" < 2000ms
- 2*"file parsing time"+2000ms if "file parsing time" > 2000ms

I can only reduce delay to "file parsing time"+100ms. But it can make IDE not responsive.

Comment 2 Alexander Simon 2016-07-07 14:03:54 UTC

Additional delay is result of half-migration on parsing API.
(I do not understand migration status, see http://hg.netbeans.org/cnd-main/rev/6c4fc5670b9a)
Now re-parsing on document modifying is scheduled more then 2 times.
