Lost compiler flags in Build options.

(1/4) > >>

Sagaceil:
Hello,

Recently I notices lack of common compiler flags in build options window :



I know that I can add flags manualy under "Another options" tab, but ability to select a few sets is great ;P
Is there any reason that those options gone ? I'm using latest nightly and I cloned common GCC compiler to be able to select my own folders. What is strange, that the original compiler (build in GNU GCC preset) hasn't those flags too. I'm wondering if the latest nightly changed something in setups of that flags.

Is there any simple solution to restore all that options ? Mayby some config file ?
Thanks, for any help :)

oBFusCATed:
Do you have any options_*.xml files in your %app_data%/codeblocks folder?

Sagaceil:
Yes, there is : AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks\share\codeblocks\compilers\options_gcc.xml

No more XML's there.

Alpha:
Your XML file was somehow generated without <Option [...] /> entries (??!! - this is a bug, if you can remember/figure out steps to reproduce, please post).  Deleting/(re)moving  this file (which is a local configuration) will restore the default flag listing.

Sagaceil:
Thanks, deleting this file helped to restore options.

Steps :

Duplicate compiler set (for example GNU GCC to 'copy GNU GCC' ) under Settings -> Compiler window.
Create some project using that 'copy GNU GCC'.

// here I bought new laptop and installed C::B w/o that 'copy GNU GCC' and moved all files of project to new machine. It might be reinstalled and installed C::B, should give the same behavior - delete 'copy GNU..'

Try to open project, go to Build options.
Then I got message, that chosen compiler doesn't exists, so I'm selecting regular GNU GCC. <-- here I lost all options.

These steps to reproduce it are quite rare so most users doesn't even feel that bug ;)
