Is there any reason to use it? What is the problem with gcc?

cacb:

I have a writeup for MSCV2013 here. Newer versions of MSVC will need some adaptions.

Uses different abi, so building plugins for other softwares is hard.
Also it produces different symbols, so debugging mixed applications (gcc and vc++) is hard.
Hopefully clang for windows will make it possible to use good free compiler and target the same runtime as vc++.

Well, I have configured Code::Blocks to compile using Microsoft Visual Studio Build Tools 2017.

--- Code: ----------------- Build: Debug in example_mic (compiler: Microsoft VC 2017)---------------

Target is up to date.
Nothing to be done (all items are up-to-date).


-------------- Run: Debug in example_mic (compiler: Microsoft VC 2017)---------------

Checking for existence: C:\Users\lucao\Desktop\example_mic\bin\Debug\example_mic.exe
Executing: "C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks/cb_console_runner.exe" "C:\Users\lucao\Desktop\example_mic\bin\Debug\example_mic.exe"  (in C:\Users\lucao\Desktop\example_mic\.)
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minute(s), 1 second(s))

--- End code ---

Where is the Code::Blocks global compiler settings file stored?

oBFusCATed:
It depends. Most of the settings are stored in default.conf in you appdata/codeblocks folder. But some of the compiler settings are stored in separate files inside this folder.
