Eclipse CDT 总是跳出来GC overhead limit exceeded或者Java heap 的问题的解决办法

我的办法是删除workspace就行了：

~ pwd
/home/michael

~ rm -rf workspace4.4

When Eclipse stops responding and displays an error message:

An internal error occurred during: "Building workspace".
GC overhead limit exceeded

or any other related to memory limits, like:

PermGen space limit exceeded

It means that the oparation performed was memory-consuming (like building big workspace project) and Java was out of memory. It often happens on 64-bit machines.

Then you should increase the memory allocation for IDE. Do it byediting eclipse.ini file (find it in your eclipse folder). you can increase memory allocation by editing values in those two lines:

-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m

by increasing it for example to:

-Xms1024m
-Xmx2048m
