observation on memory consumption

--- Quote ---Interesting is that after closing it and do some work with another application (e.g., IE, Word) and later checking the memory consumption of C::B, the value is of only 2-4 MB.

This is a Windows malfunction. The Windows marketing FUD for this is "working set optimization" or something, but it is really a malfunction.
If you minimize an application, Windows purges most of its memory pages, no matter whether it needs the RAM or not. The "reasoning" behind this is that it is good to have a lot of free RAM, but in fact it only proves that they don't know the difference between "nano" and "milli". Purging memory pages when you don't need to is really, really stupid.

to build CB with wx-debug libs is easy, but it doesn't run,
i've done this already but couldn't solve the never ending assertions ...
it seems, that any eventhandler inside CB throws assertions all the time - if this could be solved, we can debug the memory leaks

Strange, I have removed all the assertions I could find (last week, IIRC). Maybe it's been some time since you tried it?

Well, I may have been a bit hasty in my judgement here. In fact, it is not easy to get it to work, at all. :lol:

i just finished with building a WXDEBUG build of C::B (added __WXDEBUG__ to Project's Compiler #definitions, and changed custom variable WX_SUFFIX=ud )
it runs, but crashes when attempting to load CodeBlocks.cbp :(
but a small console project, which i have built with the NewProject generator, loads and works without problems ;-)
not all hope is lost ...
