Just did a MSYS2 update and spotted mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-11.2.0-1 and other GCC collection is being updated from 10.3.0 to 11.2.0

Good news.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

Wxwidgets 3.1.5 & C::B source both built successfully with no changes required.

I have NOT done any testing yet.

This is the first version of msys2's GCC, which solved this annoying gcc bug when debugging.
See bug description here: an annoying gcc bug which cause bad debugging experience is fixed in gcc trunk

I successfully rebuilt wxWidget and C::B from the C::B I built using GCC 11.2, so the resulting C::B binaries can re-build C::B from source.
I was also able to compile and debug (using GDB) one of my simple test program.

I updated my unofficial installers to use the new binaries and have made them available on sourceforge (see https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,24592.0.html for details).

Cool.
There is one thing which annoys me a little bit : there are new warnings in the wxWidgets compilation itself (in spinctlg.cpp) and more in the wxWidget's samples concerning in particular deprecated comparisons (also in my own wxWidgets programs). You can avoid them by adding the compilations flags -Wno-deprecated-enum-enum-conversion and/or -Wno-deprecated-float-enum-conversion. Apparently, this is because I use -std=gnu++20, but with previous g++ (10.3), the same options did not give the same warnings.

Windows 11 64 bits (23H2), svn C::B (last version or almost!), wxWidgets 3.2.4 (tests with 3.3), Msys2 Compilers 13.2.0, 64 bits (seh, posix : gcc, g++ and gfortran in C:\msys64\mingw64) or 32 bits (dwarf2, posix  in C:\msys64\mingw32).

I did another MSYS2 update and GDB 11.1 package was in the update list and a few other packages.

Good news. I also updated my MSYS2 suite to the latest version.

I see one issue when using msys2's wx library:

See here: The wxWidgets library should be rebuilt against the latest gcc 11.x Issue 2677 msys2/MSYS2-packages

I got different ABI mismatch report.

Thanks for the info.

I have been bitten way way way back in GCC 2.x days with incompatibility issues. This is not an issue if you build wxWidget from source and then use it when building C::B, which is what I have done.

I work around this issue by

Code
-fabi-version=14

see here:

Thank you very mush for the link as I was not aware of the ability to set the ABI version.

This issue is fixed now, I see the msys2 dev closed my issue by some commits.

In this page: https://packages.msys2.org/queue

I see the status is:

Quote
2021-10-28    mingw-w64-wxWidgets    3.0.5.1-6    →    3.0.5.1-7    Ready for upload but waiting for dependencies

Thanks. It just appeared in the upgrade list this morning for me.
