Title: New wxWidgets releases
Post by: Miguel Gimenez on March 03, 2026, 06:55:10 pm
wx3.2.10 and wx3.3.2 have been released simultaneously.
Title: Re: New wxWidgets releases
Post by: stahta01 on March 04, 2026, 01:11:32 am
Has anyone gotten Code::Blocks to build with wx3.3.2?
I gave up building wxWidgets git master about a month ago because of a build error already reported on this website by someone else.
Had to do with scripting and the red, blue, and green methods.

I just tried, and I see the build failure as above.

I built the wx 3.3.2 library with the command:

Code
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 BUILD=debug UNICODE=1

I just compare the 2 release:

https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/compare/v3.3.1...v3.3.2

I see this that the only 2 functions were added in the file: include/wx/dynarray.h


Code
T& operator[](size_t uiIndex)
    {
        wxASSERT( uiIndex < this->size() );
        return base_vec::operator[](uiIndex);
    }

    const T& operator[](size_t uiIndex) const
    {
        wxASSERT( uiIndex < this->size() );
        return base_vec::operator[](uiIndex);
    }

This was fixed in r13802 (https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/code/13802/).

Ollydbg, you can try changing (in wxsarraystringcheckproperty.cpp) line 28 to this
Code
WX_DEFINE_ARRAY(bool, wxArrayBool);

wxSmith plays with offsets and code magic to access the array, this may be a headache.

Well, in the wxsarraystringcheckproperty.cpp file, it has:

Code
#include "wxsarraystringcheckproperty.h"
#include "wxsarraystringcheckeditordlg.h"

#include <globals.h>

// Helper macros for fetching variables
#define VALUE   wxsVARIABLE(Object,Offset,wxArrayString)
#define CHECK   wxsVARIABLE(Object,CheckOffset,wxArrayBool)


Which part of the code do I need to change?

EDIT:
Oh, you mean in the header file.
Let me try it.

Title: Re: New wxWidgets releases
Post by: ollydbg on March 04, 2026, 10:11:25 am
I just changed to this:

Code
#ifndef WXSARRAYSTRINGCHECKPROPERTY_H
#define WXSARRAYSTRINGCHECKPROPERTY_H

#include "../../properties/wxsproperties.h"

WX_DEFINE_ARRAY(bool,wxArrayBool);

But I see still the same build error.

Post by: Miguel Gimenez on March 04, 2026, 11:46:26 am
I am sorry for the confussion with the extension.

Can you change (in wxschecklistbox.cpp:72) this
Code
                if ( ArrayChecks[i] )
                {
                    Codef( _T("%ACheck("));
                }
                Codef( _T("%AAppend(%t)"), ArrayChoices[i].wx_str());
                if ( ArrayChecks[i] )
                {
                    Codef(_T(")"));
                }
to this
Code
                const bool Checked = ArrayChecks[i];
                if ( Checked )
                {
                    Codef( _T("%ACheck("));
                }
                Codef( _T("%AAppend(%t)"), ArrayChoices[i].wx_str());
                if ( Checked )
                {
                    Codef(_T(")"));
                }

In line 102 there is another if (), it is expected to fail but the error in line 72 should be gone.

Thanks for testing. The problem is explained here (https://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/overview_container.html)

Quote
WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT(bool) cannot be used because of the differences in std::vector<bool> specialization compared with the generic std::vector<> class. Please either use std::vector<bool> directly or use wxArrayInt instead.

So the solution may be using WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT(int, wxArrayBool) or using wxArrayInt directly, possibly using a typedef.

Yes, this is the direction. I have conversation with chatgpt, and it also gives me similar advice.

Let me try this first:

WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT(unsigned char, wxArrayBool)
