Cannot Debug and CB terminates randomly

[slashmais]

On debian using nightly 10499

1. while editing source-files CB terminates at random times (with resultant edit-losses)

2. cannot debug, following saved from popup-backtrace:

Would appreciate any inputs on fixing this.

Can you disable the "Code Completion plugin", and see whether the random crash happens again? Also, if you got a crash stack track, please post it here, thanks.

[oBFusCATed]

This has nothing to do with CC.
It is a wx30 assertion because of mismatching format specifiers and types (size_t and %x in this case).

Looking at it....

[oBFusCATed]

I've fixed this in rev10504. Please test and report if it is working.
Also, can someone on windows verify the rev10505 does what is supposed to do?

[slashmais]

@ollydbg: disabled it and so far no crashes - will keep it disabled see what happens

re testing 10504: waiting for jens... (if he doesn't produce in the next day or two I'll dl the nightly svn & compile local)
(currently debugging the old way: printf is king)

I currently run a new build for Debian n my server.

[slashmais]

Can now debug - thx.

Still crashes at random times
last crash happened as I was doing copy-paste within same source-file.
(re-enabled CC - without it CB is useless)
Now disabling most of the plugins (default install enables a lot of them that I have no use for)
and will see what happens.

Enabled plugins:
  Autosave
  Code completion
  Compiler
  Debugger
  FileManager
  Files extension handler
  IncrementalSearch
  SmartIndentCpp
  Valgrind

Any of the above that I don't need for standard Cpp development?
Any of the disabled one's I should enable?

Will report back on outcome ...

[oBFusCATed]

Can you post backtraces from these crashes?

[slashmais]

There are none. CB just disappears mid-edit: busy typing, then suddenly wallpaper...
Is there a way I can have CB keep a running log-to-file of calls?

[oBFusCATed]

Start codeblocks under gdb, when it crashes run the bt command or even 'thread apply all bt'.
Starting codeblocks under gdb can be done with gdb codeblocks.
Also for more detailed info you can install the dbg/debuginfo packages if they are available.

(running cb in gdb)

[oBFusCATed]

Wow.
Can you please install the dbg package, this will make the backtraces (at least in gdb) more meaning full?
Or even better post detailed steps how to reproduce every problem.

[slashmais]

will have to make time for it - hopefully this weekend

How unhelpful.
