Codeblocks 25.03 crashes when I use Hex editor

(1/4) > >>

AntonyF:
Hello to all users and administrators, this is my first post.

I have recently started learning C++ and was trying out the new IDE when I noticed that if I try to open an exe file with the internal Hex editor in Codeblocks, 9 times out of 10 it crashes.

I have the same problem on two PCs, a desktop and a laptop, both running Windows 10 2021 LTSC.

Otherwise, it seems to work fine, although my use is very basic, so I can't be sure.

Thanks for your help, and have a nice day.

Miguel Gimenez:
Size of the exe?

AntonyF:
Hi Miguel,
It's not a question of size. The same exe file opens occasionally, and when it works, I can open four or five at the same time without any problems. They are small test programs of varying sizes, but in the range of 60-120 Kbytes.
Then I close and reopen CodeBlocks or restart the PC, and it no longer opens the same files that it used to open without any problems, causing CodeBlocks to crash.

AntonyF:
I ran some tests with the portable version of CodeBlocks 20.03 and the Hex Editor works perfectly.

I exported the Hex Editor from version 20.03 and tried to import it into version 25.03, but obviously it didn't work.

I gather that the problem is inherent in version 25.03. Searching the Internet, I saw that other users have the same problem.

Do you know if it is possible to report this problem?

Maybe someone will be able to solve it.

Miguel Gimenez:
AFAIK the code for the Hex Editor has not changed between releases. To fix this we need a way to reproduce, random crashes are hard to fix; I have not been able to reproduce the issue in my system.

You can post a ticket, of course.
