Title: Management Pane's Symbols tab missing
Post by: spflanze on February 25, 2019, 08:53:22 am

I see in the this documentation:
http://www.codeblocks.org/docs/main_codeblocks_en.html
a Symbols tab in the Management pane. I do not see this tab in my Code:Blocks installation. I very much need this functionality, be it this tab, or by other means. The three tabs I have there are: Projects, Files, and Resources.

How is that Symbols tab made to appear? Is it a plugin I need to install?

My Code::Blocks version is svn 11562
My OS is Ubuntu 18.04

We disable the symbol browser when building C::B against wx 3.x. Because it use a worker thread to do GUI operation, which causes crashes.
There is a patch which moves the operation of the GUI from the worker thread to the main thread, but the patch is not fully tested and it is only a workaround, I can't find the discussion thread right now, you may search on the forum.

I too cannot find that thread or patch. I would appreciate anyone who knows this, or can find it, posting it here.

Thank you for the link.

Is that patch compatible with Code::Blocks svn build rev 11562 ? I cannot use Code::Blocks 17.12 because it is not compatible with Ubuntu 18.04

Would it be necessary for me to upgrade from wxWidgets 3.0.3 to wxWidgets 3.1.1 ?
