I'm new to C and have never even touched C++, so please don't kill me for asking this. I'm just trying to understand. The patch was created two months ago because there was an issue -- and since then, that issue has been present in every release of CodeBlocks making the debugging feature effectively useless on (any?) linux distribution? But the patch would fix this if it was included?
If I understood this correctly, why is the patch not in SVN yet? Especially if it seems to render something as important as debugging unusable. Again, don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing - I simply want to understand. :-)
Of course, if I have interpreted the situation correctly, it would be lovely to see the problem fixed, especially if it's fixed as easily :-) as with the above patch!

I've asked myself the same question for two months. It took me weeks of work to learn how to fix the problem and come up with a patch.
It might not be acceptable to one of the core developers. But no one has made any suggestion as to how to make it acceptable.
I just don't understand the situation. It was even completely ignored during this last week-of-bug-fixes.
Suffice it to say, I've learned my lesson. It's not worth the extreme amount of work and effort it takes to chase a bug and develop a patch for the core CB.

I can understand your pain. So please don't take my answer to be a flame.

You are also a part of C::B Team and you know very well whom to ask about this. Just ask him directly. May be he has forgot / overlooked the patch. :)

IMHO, to give a suggestion on improving it one needs to understand the patch and should have enough knowledge of debugging procedures. This is one of the reasons that you didn't receive any suggestion from other core developers. My suggestion ask the person directly. :)

Biplab

Ok, maybe you're right. I don't usually get an answer when I ask, but I'm willing to try again.
Hey, Yiannis
How about patch

Pecan, I would very much prefer if you could stop this bitching. Thank you.
No one has made any suggestion as to how to make it acceptable? What the hell!
Just like you did with the ConfigManager (which is unusable, always crashing, and not documented according to your comments) you are not respecting one core developer's efforts in this case, either. All you do is whine and spread a bad mood.
Had you taken five minutes of time to look at the last few weeks' changes or the related forum threads in the developers section (to which you have acccess for that very reason), then you might have an idea of one thing that's not good with your patch. But of course it is a lot easier to just complain.
Besides, before reading your above comment, I would gladly have taken the time to make the necessary modifications.
Anyway, the simple reason why this patch was not applied is that nobody had time to review it yet. And as far as I am personally concerned, I'll not have time for it for quite a long time now. Maybe someone else will...
