Any comments about 'Dreaded DDE-open bug related' ?

What is the 'DDE-open bug' ?
If i uncomment the line "m_pClassBrowser->SetParser(m_pParser);", CC also works fine, include open file through DDE.

IIRC it was the following:
Windows reserves just about 5 secs for a DDE call to succeed. If parsing takes longer the return event comes too late, so the calling application using DDE "hangs".

However, you can also try to use SVN blame to find out when this was commented.

* Seemingly fixed dreaded DDE bug on windows.
* Parse project(s) for symbols when opening through the command-line.

But even if I do not comment this line, through the command line to open the project is parsing correct, include class browser.

Of course, I have rewritten SetParser function, and added a temporary Parser, So, I think do not have this problem now.

So - it *might* work now. In fact, since so many things have changed it may have become obsolete.

I can try my self to use it again on large workspaces / projects. I'll report back.
