Compiler flags go blank trouble shooting work

(1/2) > >>

stahta01:
Symptom: The compiler setting -> compiler flags are blank/missing.

Work around delete the file "options_gcc.xml" which is under path %APPDATA%\CodeBlocks\share\codeblocks\compilers in windows

Known ways that cause the creation of the "options_gcc.xml" file.
1. Delete an "compiler flags".

Edit: This is a long term project; because it may have already been fixed or may require several things to be done to trigger the system.

My case:
1. Project, used on different PC with different compiler:

--- Code: --- <Option compiler="nixman_131_ucrt_win32_gnu_gcc_64" /> 
--- End code ---
was opened in C::B.
2. It proposed me to change non-existing compiler with incorrect one.
3. I choose correct.
4. I applied changes on all targets.
Everything looks fine at that moment, but options_gcc.xml was generated. When I opened C::B next time, I got empty compiler flags.

nenin:
This issue has a very poor reproducibility. In some rare cases compiler flags disappeared after "apply changes", something like 20% after next start of the C::B, and 80% cases are OK.

Can you attach the created xml file? I want to check if it is empty, damaged or what...

It is not empty for sure.
