Global compiler settings policy

[p2rkw]

Currently compiler and linker settings are fixed to "use projects options only". Why other policies are not available?

Probably because the global compiler options are always used, no matter of the policy.
This is the reason that putting something project specific there is not a good idea.

Ok, so other question: what does "Set as default" option? Every project can choose other compiler, and it ignore default compiler.
For example: I want to compile "Release" version of codeblocks. So I have to add full optimization options to  "GNU GCC Compier", because codeblocks projects use this compiler. After that I build my project in debug version, so I have to revert compiler settings to defaults.
In my opinion projects should be able to use currently set default compiler.

Hm,
I don't understand the question much.
"Set as default" just makes this compiler the default compiler for new project/targets.

For the C::B's project you can add/remove the optimization options from the project options, which will probably be inherited by all targets.
Also you can use different compiler for different targets.

BTW: we have user manual, probably it is a good idea to take a look at it.

So, I have to add these options to more than 30 contrib plugins projects manually? I will create new profile to do this.

[oBFusCATed]

Yes, but you were talking about the codeblocks project, not the contrib workspace.

BTW what exactly do you want to achieve? As far as I know the contrib projects already include optimization options
and if you want to debug a single plugin you can disable the optimizations for this plugin only.
