Underlining Errors in editor before compilation/building
« on: April 08, 2024, 08:26:56 am »
When I write gibberish in the editor and save the file. Code Blocks doesn't seem to be aware of the error.
It's only when I try to build the project it gives an error. That too just a mark on the corresponding line in the editor and not the specific word.

I don't know if I am supposed to install some external extension or simple turn on something in the settings.
I searched up this problem and visited multiple issues, but they were all about syntax highlighting issues.
(Idk how attaching images to post works, I tried)

Hate to say that, but highlighting is not a spellchecking. It is just enhance readability of the code, nothing more.
You can detect errors in C/C++ only by compiler or tools like lint.

Is there anyway to get code blocks to highlight/underline specific errors in editor before compiling?

You might want to look at the CodeBlocks Nightly builds section. It contains CodeBlocks with a Clangd_client plugin which marks error in the left margin when you save a file.
