Title: special handling of the macro replacement ""?
Post by: ollydbg on January 28, 2026, 06:43:08 am

Hi, when I'm using the gd_on's unified workspace/code::blocks cbp files, I see something strange.

See here: it looks like GCC works OK, but GDB failed to find the dll(setting wrong PATH)

Re: crash when I try to open a wxsmith file under C::B against wx 3.3.1 (https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,26232.msg178330.html#msg178330)

If a variable a has a filed name b, and its value is

Code

""

, and if we have

Code

AAA$(#a.b)

, we will finally get

Code

AAA""

The current implementation treats an empty string "" as a valid value and performs the replacement, resulting in

Code

AAA""

instead of the expected

Code

AAA

.

I'd like to see your options on this issue.

Thanks.

Make sure you get approval by MortenMacFlybefore making any changes. Check out the SF tickets for posts on macro and hopefully you will fins the ticket and have a read before you spend time on this as you may end up wasting your time.
BTW I agree with you.

Hi, AndrewCot,  long time no see.
I think it is a good direction.
Maybe there are similar topics in the sourceforge tickets.
So I will search for that.

To switch between the debug version of wx library,  using the unified workspace or cbp project is much easier.  We don't need to replace or editor each cbp files.
