           Summary: KDevelop crashes when trying to load a corrupted pcs
                    file
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 3.0.0a7
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: bernd.pol at online.de


Version:           3.0.0a7 (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB-athlon

It happened twice to me now. When KDevelop crashed on/after a compile before it could update the pcs file, it will crash when you try to load the project again. Removing the pcs and kdevses files did help.
It would be better to anticipate those chrashes on corrupted pcs files and warn the user and/or abandon those files in that case and try a complete rebuild.
Is there any way to check pcs file consistency beforehand?
