Title: Variable names in Watches window
Post by: Krause on January 25, 2023, 03:35:14 pm

Sometimes variables in the Watches window are shown like this:

Code

i

and sometimes as expected: i
And also the debugger log has additional characters before the address:

Code

Setting breakpoints
Breakpoint 2 at 0x1400019f2: file c:\dev\Test\GUIFrame.cpp, line 46.

I'm using GDB 10.2/Win11.

What is going wrong?

Thanks in advance
K.

Looks like GDB is generating ANSI escape sequences (https://duffney.io/usingansiescapesequencespowershell/),

Adding

Code

set style enabled off

to GDB initialization commands (in Settings -> Debugger -> Default) should fix the issue.

EDIT: I have just created a ticket (https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/1366/) for this.
