Title: Switching "Full compiler log" to On by default?
Post by: oBFusCATed on May 05, 2012, 10:32:22 pm
I want to make the change, in order to save lots of support round trips like:

Case1:
Quote
user: my project doesn't compile
support: paste the full log
user: pastes the short log
support: I said paste the full log, to enable it do 1,2,3
user: pastes the log

Case2:
Quote
user: debugging doesn't work - executable doesn't have symbols
support: read on the wiki about the needed options for proper debugging
user: I've already read it, my settings are fine
support: paste the full log for debugger and compiler
user: pastes the wrong logs
support: I said paste the full log, to enable it do 1,2,3
user: pastes the log
support: but you still have -g or -s, even -O2 is there

Anyone against this change must have extremely convincing reason to stop me doing it.
I'm going to do the change in a week or two.

Sounds great.

I was thinking of submitting this one line patch, for the GCC compiler, myself.

@OBF
I agree with you, let's set the "full compiler log" by default.

good idea, for me it is one of the first thing I do on a new cb install ;-)

Oh yeah.

For all my support clients, I patch CB to make sure Full Logging is *On*, else it wastes hours getting them to turn it on, then recreating their error.

Go ahead. In fact for me its the same like with Pecan. Dunno who set it to "brief" in the first place. Add a tip of today telling how to turn "brief" on in addition.

Something like this: http://cmpt.benbmp.org/codeblocks/patches/full_compiler_logging.patch ?

Oh dear, I forgot that its need to be done for every compiler... but yes, that's about it.

Is there any particular reason that some compilers used full, some none and some simple?

The tip of day needs to be corrected in your patch, because someone ;) changed the Settings submenu layout and there is no "Compiler and debugger" menuentry anymore.

Nope. All should use "full" initially. What compilers do you mean where it is different?

Search for the enum values and you'll see what a mess it is at the moment...
