Re: crash when parsing boost c++ headers

[Alex Ott]

Hello

I able to reproduce this on our project, that includes boost includes.
When i generate gtags for this project, GTAGS  files is increased to 2Gb,
and then gtags stops working.

According to sloccount, our project (together with boost) has ~1.4 million
lines of code - may be this is a reason, that gtags isn't designed to work
with such big projects? Why GTAGS files are so big? Is any tips, how i can
compact it?
