No more references.

Dennis,

Do you have any recommendations as to how to make the feature work indefinitely?

24.0.2 will be coming out in the near future.  It might help.

Without some examples and a reproducible test case, there is not much more I can do here.

One last setting you could check:  Documents > C/C++ Options > Context Tagging > Attempt to filter out ...., do you have this option checked?

Also, you can also go back to the sample C/C++ project and do a references test when this happens.  If it fails in the sample project, then you have something reproducible that you can send in  to support (along with a copy of your configuration directory).

Dennis,

Can we work on this issue some more. As I said it stopped working again. I really need a permanent fix for this issue.

I do not have Attempt to filter out... checked.

The sample project symbol browsing does not work either. It is also poping the same "No more references" box.

I have attached my config file.

This problem has been around since January? Aaaargh. Just started installing 24.0.2 with Hotfix 14. Using Brief emulation. This feature is one of the most heavily used for me so it is extremely frustrating to have it not work.

One observation I can add that I didn't see mentioned.  I use the right click pulldown menu to access the feature.  I need to retry Go to Reference usually 3 times, sometimes 4 before it works.

Always hard to fix problems you can't reproduce.

Maybe the magic ingredient can be found in your user.cfg.xml, could you post that?

Also, exactly which tool windows do you have visible and/or docked.

Hey pineapple,

Do you or your corporate IT folks have any anti-malware tools like Crowdstrike or Endpoint Agent installed on your machine? Or any other heavy-handed security tools?

Pineapple,

We just sent you a PM.

SlickEdit Support sent me a preview of a new hotfix to try and hey!  It fixes the "No more references" problem.  Or at least as far as I could tell.

I was getting the problem about half the time I selected "Go to reference..".  The failure was bursty, disappearing at times making me think the problem had gone away, then boom.  I had to click 4 times to get a list of references.  After installing the hotfix, I haven't seen the problem once.  Even did extra reference searches for the heck of it.  No failures.  So what was it?  Pointer to a random variable?

Really appreciate the fix.  Thanks guys (and gals).

There was a software timeout that as not being reset correctly.

The No more references. issue has returned. I upgraded my system and Slickedit. CTRL/ was working initially but recently stopped working. CTRL. is working.
I am now using the following version of Slickedit, Is there a hot fix for this version related to fixing the No more references. problem? It seems that you provided one to user pineapple.

Dennis,
I installed the updated version v26.0.2.1 64-BIT Qt5, but the problem persists. Please let me know what to try next.

Dennis,

I read through the entire thread again and tried everything that had been mentioned before.
This caught my eye.

So apparently at one point you found and fixed the problem with a Hotfix. Can a Hot fix be provided for the SlickEdit Pro 2021 (v26.0.0.6 64-bit Qt5) release with the timeout reset fixed?

I also tried this and it does work.
Do not use CTRL + /
Instead copy the symbol and paste it into the References Symbol: box <enter>
The No more references box pops. Close it and the output appears in the References window. main.c...NO REFERENCES appears on the first line before the full path to the file.

Although this method is able to produce references it is by no means a solution to the issue and no where near as convenient as CTRL + /.

Please pursue a Hotfix for this issue.
