C::B and Windows 7 64-bit

Hi,

Anyone have any experience in using C::B on Windows 7 64-bit?
I'm considering changing my computer and that's what I'd get...

However, I have a friend who's using C::B on such system and he gets several crashes a day... His has the same config as me (compiled by me), which is:
- C::B trunk r7032
- compiled with MinGW32: gcc version 4.5.1 (tdm-1)
- using wxWidgets 2.8.10, compiled with the same GCC, using the instructions on http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Windows, i.e.

--- Code: ---mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1 clean
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc USE_XRC=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=release UNICODE=1

--- End code ---

Thanks for sharing ;-)

Have you tried the nightly builds?
Have you tried to see where are this crashes and report them?

Nope, I have one or two changes that prevents me from going that way...

Yes, I've tried to check, but haven't report them yet because I don't have enough information yet.
However, this morning I just catch a freeze using gdb and it seemed to me that the problem is somehow caused by some unicode settings. I know nothing about unicode, but it was a guess based on the trace I saw, here it is:

What catched my attention was ch=3307 L'ë\000'. For me it looks like the "e" character plus umlaut. However, I only have English in my code, no such character. But, windows 7 language was German and somehow I though that C::B was not using the right encoding or something like that.

My workaround was to go to Settings / General Settings / Other Settings and using:
- WINDOWS-1252 as the encoding
- setting "Use this encoding / As default encoding (bypassing C::B's auto-detection)
- and unticking "If conversion fails using the settings above, try system locale settings"

So far, so good...

As I said, this was a long shot and I'm still not sure if this is/was the problem....

oBFusCATed:
I've seen this crash, too, it is pretty random (I think) and hard to reproduce...

If you can crash it 100%, please post the code + your settings

Here, when I have this crash, I have it every time I open the workspace and click on an editor. So, I have to open C::B, close the workspace without clicking on the editor and then reopen and most of the times it works...

However, it is pretty random and only happens when I have a big project open and so on... not easy to minimize the "system"... :-(

Question: Do you have any idea if it's related to unicode? What about my workaround?
