Codeblocks sometimes doesn't recompile a project if I changed something

[daniel_silva]

Sometimes when I make a change to a cpp file, codeblocks doesn't recompile the program, I need to rebuild the project so I can see my changes.

Sometimes it does this and I don't know how to fix, I think restarting my pc fixes it temporarily.

I am on linux mint 22.3

Is the cpp file(for example, you have a a.cpp file) included in your cbp project file?
You may check the modified "timestamp" of the cpp file, because Code::Blocks use this time information to track whether the file get changed or not.

Thanks, it was this timestamp thing, I was changing the date of my OS to test my program (it uses dates in some ways), some cpp files had future timestamps
