Iconv.exe crash when starting to debug

(1/1)

Mr.Madguy:
I use Code::Blocks 20.03 64bit with w64devkit toolchain. Every time I try to debug my program - Iconv.exe crash is reported before launching it. Everything else works as usual, i.e. debugging itself works properly. For what reason Iconv.exe is launched? Is it launched by Code::Blocks or GDB? Can I fix this problem somehow? It's annoying.

omlk:
You did not specify which OS you are running code::blocks on.
Maybe this will partially help with the search.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iconv

Mr.Madguy:
OS is Windows. Error is BEX according to crash report. So it's caused by attempt to execute data. Crash can possibly be fixed via adding Iconv.exe to DEP white list, but I don't think it's good idea. As Iconv.exe doesn't affect anything, then may be there is some way to disable it? Is it executed by Code::Blocks?

omlk:
To help you, we have to guess which Windows it is?

* Windows 3.1
* Windows 95
* Windows 98
* Windows XP 32 bit or 64bit
* Windows XP 32 bit or 64bit with SP1 SP2 SP3
* Windows NT 32 bit or 64bit
* Oh, I forgot about: Windows Me Millennium  :)
* Windows Vista 32 bit or 64bit
* Windows 7 32 bit or 64bit
* Windows 7 32 bit or 64bit  with SP1
* Windows 8 32 bit or 64bit
* Windows 10 32 bit or 64bit
* Windows 11 32 bit or 64bit
* Windows Sever ...The more information you provide, the easier it will be to understand what the problem is.Also, in some cases, you need to attach a screenshot or a link to a video or animation to the post.You can also specify the link from where you downloaded the code blocks.
Attached a screenshot as an example.

On my Computer (Win 10 64 bit) "Iconv.exe" is not part of an nightly CB build; but, it is part of an MinGW GCC toolchain. So, you should ask the people who built the MinGW toolchain you are using.

Edit: Web searching implied gdb.exe called "Iconv.exe" and the posters implied it might be a bug in gdb.
