C Programming

Hi all,

I'm new here. I begin to do some C programming and decided to XCode in past 3 months since it has nice interface and makes life easier in debugging, etc.

Since about 2 weeks ago, I started noticing that I've been getting beach ball a lot while I'm using the XCode. It gets to the point that the mac becomes non-responsive, and I have to reboot or reset every 10 minutes.

I'm just checking if I'm doing anything wrong or if this is the fate of XCode developers. Please let me know your thoughts and perhaps any solution.

Thanks! N

I'm just checking if I'm doing anything wrong

No one here can tell you if you're doing anything wrong because you haven't mentioned what you're doing other than doing some C programming.

Some information that would let people help you would include the following:

  • The version of Xcode you're running
  • The version of macOS you're running
  • The Mac model you're using, amount of RAM, and amount of storage
  • The type of Xcode project you created
  • The number of files in the project
  • The specific activity that causes the beach ball: opening the project, selecting a file, editing code, building the project, etc.
  • Do you have any large files (tens of thousands of lines of code) in the project?
  • Are you using any external libraries?
