The 16 June 2013 build (9158) is out.

What a noob, didn't see that... But... wxwidgets 2.8.12 is needed, Debian provides only 2.8.10 on squeeze ><

Nevertheless, thank you.

[Jenna]

Why do you use squeeze (oldstable) ?

You can use wxWidgets from apt.wxwidgets.org, if you don't want to (or you cannot for whatever reason) update your distro.
See http://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian for details. Packages for squeeze are available.

I use squeeze because I can virtualize it without any problem : https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes
I got some troubles with Wheezy, not supporting shared folder, which is a bit embarrassing...
Thanks for your link, I didn't know this page, I'll give a try tomorrow.

Thanks for your responses !

[Folco]

Thanks Jens, it perfectly works !

This is my first software night-build version to download ever,  : I hope that I face no more auto-completion bugs.

I have noticed a couple of issues with svn9232 on my Windows XP PC and I would like to ask if anyone else has noticed the same behavior.

When I attempt to open a recently opened project, the entire IDE freezes and I suspect it has something to do with the parser. It runs on the background as soon as you load the project, am I right? Please do by all means correct me if I'm wrong!

Also, another issue is that when the IDE crashes, it does not produce any report file as it used to, at least on Windows XP.

Cheers.

I encountered the hang problem from time to time, but it is hard to reproduce. Do you have steps to reproduce this bug?

It should be "codeblocks.RPT" in the same folder of codeblocks.exe.

As you have stated yourself, it hangs from time to time, but I have noticed that it usually hangs when I start Code::Blocks for the first time while attempting to load a recent project.

It should be "codeblocks.RPT" in the same folder of codeblocks.exe.

I'm afraid there is no such thing; that's why I have mentioned it here. It just shuts down without warning or whatsoever; and the funny thing is that I don't know how to reproduce it so I can check it with GDB :/

"from time to time" is relative My CB hangs every time when I start it up and try to close one of my opened projects..
This happens while code completion is parsing stuff.. and that needs a few seconds. When I wait for them, it won't hang.

So with a high speed PC (SSD, fast CPU), it's very unlikely to get CB to hang^^

The only way to fix it seems for me to improve the multi threading stuff.. better locks and more checks for the project existence.. or better... add a reference count to things like projects so that they can be removed from within codeblocks but some plugins may still use them until they remove their reference and it gets deleted^^
I'm not sure if it's about badly placed locks.. that's just what my first look suggested xD It's also possible that a wxWidgets call freezes... as that's what I see. (called from code completion)

@ToApolytoXaos
when you are self compiling CB and using Windows... make sure you are compiling exchndl.dll as well... or get a copy and put it into CB root.

Speed for sure is totally irrelevant, because the issue *could* be probably the focus from Projects' Workspace while switching to editor. I can see the highlighting line getting disappeared and then the toolbar menus become white as a crashing indicator.

That could be a solution, but for now I lack the knowledge about threads and I cannot take place, nor can I answer to something like that.

I have been doing so for the past 7 years, therefore I think I have it covered Thanks for your suggestions though.

@White-Tiger: You have raised an interesting point here mate. I remember exchndl.dll being copied into output from devel folder with execution of update.bat file, but as it seems such thing is not happening anymore.

The so-called dynamic library can be seen in src/ directory and after copied it in devel and ran update.bat, it could re-copied it in output. I don't remember doing such thing in the past...Probably I have forgot such procedure if I have done it only once.

[ToApolytoXaos]

Sorry, but I will disappoint you now. I am on Windows at work with svn-9138 and the issue remains the same.

It seems this issue still exists with array brackets this time. If you create an array, but without a type, right bracket remains highlighted for some reason waiting for a matching left bracket arr[] and if you try to create another array next to it barr[], as you move the line it matches the right bracket only.





As you can see, this issue happens when you have forgotten to add an array type for some reason.

Is it an issue or a normal behavior when a variable type is missing?

It is *supposed* to be a feature; the highlight represents the location your cursor will jump to if you press tab.

[ToApolytoXaos]

By the way, what's this new case with creating new files in a project?

I get a "Mixed Line Endings" popup balloon window; I haven't touched anything in my line endings.

This issue is with svn9423, GNU / Linux Debian testing (32-bit), GCC 4.8.1 fully updated.

P.S.: I have compiled wxMSW-2.8.12 with TDM's GCC 4.8.1 in just 2 hours today (very peculiar I would say...), but I could not finish with C::B compilation and I had to cancel it at 300-minute, 31-second :S

Too many freaking warnings while compiling the project

The files you've opened have both windows and linux line endings in them. This is just a warning.

Search the forum for the proper -fno- blabla option to disable them. Probably you can fine them in the topics for mingw 4.8 or tdm 4.8.
