General (but related to Code::Blocks) / CodeBlocks 20.03 pre 2023 builds

« Last post by codingisfun on Today at 11:00:46 am »

Hi
I've recently tried to reinstall codeblocks 20.03 on my retro windows xp machine and I realized it won't work anymore, 2 years ago I downloaded the exact same version and it worked perfectly fine on the exact same machine, it turns out somebody has updated the files and the new files give you a broken build. to confirm it I dug up this old portable 20.03 build dated 2021 from archive.org and I can confirm it used to work, if you've got older installers please give me a link I want to burn them into a DVD so my time won't be wasted again.

Help / Re: The tabs close when you save a file.

A quick glance into projectloader.cpp function UpdateGlob shows a range for-loop with a temporary a few lines above line 1143:

Code

// First search for valid project files (glob id) and also for project files we have to remove
for (ProjectFile* file : m_pProject->GetFilesList())

This has been fixed in C++23 (see: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p2644r1.pdf).

In the meantime I recommend to put the file list into a local variable like that:

Code

// First search for valid project files (glob id) and also for project files we have to remove
const auto& files = m_pProject->GetFilesList();
for (ProjectFile* file : files)

It may not be the reason for this issue but should be fixed anyway.

I could reproduce the issue. Editor is closed by below call trace. Looks like it is caused by Glob feature. I'm not much familiar with that feature. When I remove all the glob related data from the cbp manually, issue was not seen.

Before you use a nightly make sure you understand how it works.

The current SDK version is : 2.25.0

Resolved Fixed:

• increase amount of global user vars from 7 to 8
• show CPU architecture in about screen (and alike) as well to differ 64 bit Intel/ARM
• fix crash on Clang/ARM compiled version of C::B on Windows
• introduce new global variables to remove some code: AppProcessor, AppBitType, AppCompilerVersion
• updated nlohman JSON to v3.12.0 to try to fix a compiler issue on ARM
• actually fix a compiler issue with cyclic definitions of Diagnostics and CodeAction structs on more strict compilers
• added Code::Blocks projects files and workspace for ARM compilation (WoA64)
• added ARM batch files for resources for various projects
• src\uservardlgs.cpp: Fix assert/crash because of incorrect print format

Is it possible to share your .cbp file also?

After deleting the file, the problem persists. An identical file was generated.

Delete the .layout file, it will be recreated.

Help / The tabs close when you save a file.

« Last post by dthu on August 09, 2026, 08:34:46 pm »

I had a project started with the source code located in its default position. I decided to move the code. In C::B, I removed all the files and then added them to their new location. I don't know if it's related, but since then, the program closes the tabs associated with the project files every time I save or compile. I realized that the .layout file is different from other projects, so I'm placing it here.

I've experienced this problem in both the stable version and r13923 on Linux.

Code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

	<ActiveTarget name="Debug" />
