1. Use the latest version of kdevelop, that is 3.4.0
2. Yes if you choose populate it will look for cpp,c and h files and add
them to the project. Afterwards they are parsed, this is not solely to
show you errors, its also used for code-completion, the class view and
code navigation. The parser cannot handle macros except when they are
used in the same file as they are defined. No other context information
is needed to parse a C++ file.
3. Without a backtrace a crash-report is meaningless. To get a backtrace
run kdevelop inside gdb and issue bt after it crashed.
