Codeblocks is problems on Linux: Crashing all time, and others
namosca:
I have now disabled the symol browser by clicking View - > Symbol browser and unchecking the box.
After a program freeze (I had to kill it), I went to gdb and wanted to apply the command "thread apply all bt and got", but it does nothing because gdb tells me:
Program terminated with signal SIGKILL, Killed.
The program no longer exists.
How should I proceed to help you figure out how to fix this problem?

Killing a program is achieved by sending a SIGKILL signal. So next time when it freezes don't kill it, just attach gdb to and execute the thread all command.
Also I don't remember if we've fixed the symbolic link recursion issue before or after 16.01, so it might be useful to try a night build to see if the issue is reproducible in the latest version.
namosca:
1) I will attach GDB next time instead of killing it
2) Now I remember that when I installed CB 16.01 on Windows 10 it also started to crash a lot. The problem got solved only on a newer version (cant remember in detail which). This means that the crashes I experience are happening for Windows users too.
3) That the official version of CB (on CB website and on Ubuntu repositories) is the buggy one is extremely bad PR for the project. I suggest to put a more stable version as official (both on CB website and on Ubuntu repositories)
4) I know that if I try compiling a nightly build in Linux as you proposed I will run into many headache... So for now I just switched to CodeLite (which run out of the box on Ubuntu apt-get)
5) I think many users (especially the new users) will to the same without bothering to report a bug. Again, please consider how bad PR it is for CodeBlocks that the official version is not a properly working one
Thank you

You're jumping to conclusions, here. You experience these crashes. Maybe it's a problem on Win10, maybe Win10 users are defecting to PellesC in droves and not saying a word about it here, but I don't see them doing so. And crucially, I don't see these crashes, either. That's Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit, and yes, the official installation of CB version 16.01. Works fine. The problem seems to me to be on your end; in any case, I can't see that it's a wide-spread CB problem, and certainly not the PR disaster you seem to think it is.
