Help / Re: Different handling of placeholders
« Last post by blauzahn on November 03, 2025, 07:55:50 pm »Maybe because macro expansion is better used reluctantly? Like minimizing the usage of the c-preprocessor. Currently, I do not use default-code but I would be fine with how it is as you described.
I briefly searched cb-source for default-code. The function that expands placeholders is in trunk/src/sdk/editormanager.cpp:495
see the lines:
Apart from that snippet, at first glance, I did not find in the source code any further rationale for the decision you asked for.
The code entered into the settings dialog can be found in ~/.config/codeblocks/default.con. Please search for default_code within that file.
Why do you want the creation date of a source file in the first place? I'd rather look up in version control when it was added. With that username, do you do that for legal reasons?
