Title: Use of '_T("...")' with 'CB'
Post by: LETARTARE on August 28, 2026, 04:12:37 pm

I just compiled only 'cb-13984' and found 2638 strings '_T("...")' !! (without plugins)
However, since 'wx-3.0' this writing is obsolete.

What would be the advice to gradually delete this writing and how?

As for me, I think research on every target could be a lead.

Note :
'_T("")' => 'wxEmptyString'

I delete them as I pass near (see 13984), but some areas may be tricky (for example, parts of wxSmith creating string arrays).

I just dropped off three tickets: 1632, 1633, 1634

I just provided three fixes (1636, 1637, 1638) to replace
 

Code

'_T("...")' or  'wxT("...")' by '"..."'

for 'autosave', 'classwizard', codecompletion' plugins

For those who are interested in research:

Here is the regular expression to use for '_T(' in 'CB'
Research :

Code

 '_T\(("(\\"|[^"])*")\)'

Replace :

Code

'\1'

Note : the ' must not be written

Problem with svn 13991.
Apparently, at least in parserthread.cpp, some strings have been changed inside the ?: operator. This does not work.

I look immediately...

Are these errors inside calls to TRACE()?

@gd_on
Could you tell me the line or the lines involved ?

Because under 'Leap-15.6, gcc-15.2' I can't find any error in 'parserthread.cpp' when compiling.

Yes, all problems are in TRACE : lines 1473, 2347, 2357, 2371, 3200, 3258
Example :

Code

C:\Users\Gerard\Documents\CodeBlocks_SVN\CodeBlocks_src\src\plugins\codecompletion\parser\parserthread.cpp|3258|error: conditional expression between distinct pointer types 'const wxStringCharType*' {aka 'const wchar_t*'} and 'const char*' lacks a cast|

May be there are other problems, but the compiler stops there in parserthread.

@gd_on

Can you try to replace "...." => wxS(".....") or wxString(".....") on these lines ?

Reverted r13991 in these lines, see r13994. Please try to compile again.

I do not know why LETARTARE and I do not get compilation errors while gd_on does.

Probably better, but that time an other error still with TRACE :

Code

C:\Users\Gerard\Documents\CodeBlocks_SVN\CodeBlocks_src\src\plugins\codecompletion\parser\parserthread.cpp|2991|error: 'kkm_LastUnnamedTokenName' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'm_LastUnnamedTokenName'?|

Apparently just kkm_ instead of m_

Fixed in r13995, sorry. I added "kk" to force an error if TRACE() was active and forgot to remove it.

Probably a more or less restrictive compiler: mine is msys2 16.2
Now it's OK.
