SUMMARY Hi, I a have tried to use KDevelop for my project https://github.com/tdauth/wc3lib For some time it successfully parses the code but after some time (several minutes) it slows down my whole Linux system and I have to restart my Computer. Not sure what's going on but this should never be the case. I even reduced the number of threads for code parsing to 2 but no change at all. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Import the project wc3lib with all CMake options enabled 2. Wait several minutes OBSERVED RESULT Slows down the whole system until nothing reacts anymore. The whole Plasma UI cannot be used anymore. EXPECTED RESULT Never slow down the rest of the system.

I suspect your RAM is exhausted. Consider increasing its size. Or placing the primary swap partition/file on an SSD. Or setting the temporary directory environment variable for KDevelop to a location on disk rather than in tmpfs (which is usually in RAM). See also the workarounds proposed under Bug 410455.
