Eclipse (Code Composer Studio) - Preprocessor Macros not shown after 5000 lines of code?

Question

I'm using the Code Composer Studio from Texas Instruments for a microcontroller application. This is an eclipse based environment. Now there is a file, which has more than 5000 lines of code and it does not show the precompiler macros (the #if/#else case is can not be distinguished, because the background is white for both). When I reduce the code to less than 5000 lines, it shows everything correctly.

So, is there a setting somehwere, where I can choose the maximum number of lines before it compresses? (I had a question once when I open a large file about that, but now it never shows it again).

Answer 1

This setting is "scalability": Window-> Preferences->C/C++-> Editor->Scalability.

There are checkboxes for things to disable in large files (live parsing, syntax coloring etc) and how large a file must be to trigger these limitations. The default usually is 5000 lines.
