Title: CB20.03: llvm/clang project can't select target, due to too many targets
Post by: johnxu on February 21, 2023, 02:21:51 am

Codeblocks 20.03, under Ubuntu 22.04:

llvm/clang project has 100+ targets, codeblocks "Build" -> "Select Target" can't display all targets.
The bottom most "more targets available" grayed, can't click.

That is a known problem with 20.03, and it is fixed in trunk.

As a workaround, once the project is loaded try View -> Toolbars -> Fit toolbars or Optimize toolbars; last time it worked for me.

EDIT: Instructions above are for target selection using the wxChoice in the toolbar, you can use it instead of the menu.

EDIT2: The target menu has a built-in limit:

Code

const int maxTargetInMenus = 40;

When it is reached, a "More targets available..." menu item is created, but it is disabled!. I will investigate further...

EDIT3: The last menu item is not intended to be clicked, it is a reminder to use the first menu item. This is very confusing.

Thanks for your detailed reply. Now I can use wxChoise to choose "clang" as target. And I can Shift-F7 (step-in), to see clang.exe stops at main() function of clang/tools/driver/driver.cpp

I'll check performance and stability later.
