> Error Class	: software bug
> Error Location: logical file tree

> Bug Description ---------------------------

KDevelop crashes while parsing source files (at startup and otherwise)
if there are syntactic errors in the source:

[magi@magi ~]$ kdevelop
CClassView::refresh( proj )
  parsing:[/home/magi/c/testiprojekti/testiprojekti/testiprojekti.h]
  parsing:[/home/magi/c/testiprojekti/testiprojekti/testiprojektidoc.h]
  parsing:[/home/magi/c/testiprojekti/testiprojekti/testiprojektiview.h]
Virtual memory exceeded in `new'

(Crashing takes actually about a minute, as the machine starts swapping a lot)

This was caused because of erroneous line in the code, more specifically:
...
    protected:
           virtual
    public:
}

You may ask why does it read "virtual" there.
I was trying to write a method declaration, and tried to
copy&paste the declaration from elsewhere. When I hit
the Paste-button, the kdevelop reserved lots of memory, until it crashed. But
apparently it had saved the file, so it then crashed every time at
startup until I removed the word "virtual" from there.

Workaround: don't write erroneous code.
