Codeblocks overwrote main.cpp file with a blank line.

If Test.cpp.temp saves OK then C:B try renaming it as Test.cpp, removing the previous file if it existed. If this operation fails, the Test.cpp.temp file is renamed as Test.cpp.save-failed.

If there is neither a .temp file nor a .save-failed file then I suspect a filesystem failure.

Reference: src\sdk\filemanager.cpp -> FileManager::Save() method

unfortunately there is not .temp file

Commaster:
I suspect this is related to configured write caching for the drive. You might want to disable write caching for the drive you are working on, this might reduce the I/O bandwidth but will protect the data in case of such power outages.

P.S. Code::Blocks moved the old file to .temp, created the new .cpp file and the OS reported that as a success even though it was still pending in the write cache.
