Bug 43766 [reconciling] ResourceMarkerAnnotationModel listener taking a long time
Reported: 2003-09-26 14:30:24 | Status: resolved fixed

Build: I20030925 I was investigating a situation where adding breakpoints to a large file was very slow. It can take up to a second to add a breakpoint to a file such as Workspace.java (2000 lines). Almost all of this time is in the resource change listener added by ResourceMarkerAnnotationModel. First, a minor issue: Instead of adding a resource change listener that traverses the entire delta, you can locate a given resource delta within the resource change delta very quickly using IResourceDelta.findMember(): public void resourceChanged(IResourceChangeEvent e) { IResourceDelta delta= e.getDelta(); if (delta != null) { IResourceDelta child = delta.findMember(fResource.getFullPath()); if (child != null) update(child.getMarkerDeltas()); } } However, this was only a small speed improvement. The main problem is that the entire compilation unit is reparsed every time a breakpoint is added. I have added a profiler trace of where the time is going for adding a single breakpoint.
