CDT An internal error occurred during: "Indexer Setup"

Question

I am using Eclipse with CDT to generate C ++ code. After loading my workspace, I get the following message:

An internal error occurred during: "Setting up indexer". 

Here is the log:

 eclipse.buildId=I20110613-1736 java.version=1.6.0_24 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=en_US Command-line arguments: -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2012-10-30 16:46:09.940 !MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Setting up indexer". !STACK 0 java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 18 at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.db.Database.getChunk(Database.java:274) at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.db.Database.getRecPtr(Database.java:477) at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.dom.PDOMLinkage.getLinkageID(PDOMLinkage.java:119) at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.PDOM.readLinkages(PDOM.java:351) at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.PDOM.loadDatabase(PDOM.java:334) at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.PDOM.<init>(PDOM.java:310) at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.WritablePDOM.<init>(WritablePDOM.java:57) at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.WritablePDOM.<init>(WritablePDOM.java:52) at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.PDOMManager.getOrCreatePDOM(PDOMManager.java:370) at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.PDOMManager.createIndexer(PDOMManager.java:554) at org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.pdom.PDOMSetupJob.run(PDOMSetupJob.java:58) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54) 

How can I fix / reset this?

Answer 1

Deleting * .pdom files from .metadata / .plugins / org.eclipse.cdt.core / fixed problem

Answer 2

I tried Steve's solution ( fooobar.com/questions/1443031 / ... ) and it worked after restarting Eclipse.
