Description Bernd Pol 2003-10-10 05:16:16 UTC 
Version:           3.0.0a7 (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB-athlon

It happened twice to me now. When KDevelop crashed on/after a compile before it could update the pcs file, it will crash when you try to load the project again. Removing the pcs and kdevses files did help.
It would be better to anticipate those chrashes on corrupted pcs files and warn the user and/or abandon those files in that case and try a complete rebuild.
Is there any way to check pcs file consistency beforehand?

Roberto just added safeguards. If the PCS isn't written correctly to disc, KDevelop should not attempt to read it next time. If KDevelop crashes when attempting to read the PCS on project load, it will not read the PCS on a second attempt.

Closing as fixed.
