General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Re: Support for newer MS Visual C++ compilers?

« Last post by cacb on August 20, 2025, 08:40:08 pm »

The C::B wiki only briefly mentions that Visual C++ 2003 - 2010 are still supported, but are no longer available from their original publishers. Are there plans to add support for newer versions?

I have used it with newer MSVC compilers for a long time, currently using MSVC2022.  I don't use the C::B debugger on Windows, instead I launch the MSVC debugger via the Tools menu as shown in the attachment.

Using Code::Blocks / Codeblocks 25.03 crashes when I use Hex editor

« Last post by AntonyF on August 20, 2025, 11:25:03 am »

Hello to all users and administrators, this is my first post.

I have recently started learning C++ and was trying out the new IDE when I noticed that if I try to open an exe file with the internal Hex editor in Codeblocks, 9 times out of 10 it crashes.

I have the same problem on two PCs, a desktop and a laptop, both running Windows 10 2021 LTSC.

Otherwise, it seems to work fine, although my use is very basic, so I can't be sure.

Thanks for your help, and have a nice day.

Try it and see; but, C::B likely cannot debug using MSVC debugger.

Sounds good, I will try to simplify the wxTimer patch although it will be big, as there are several locations where it is changed.

Regarding the zlib, I extracted a patch at https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/1548/

The library is in `contrib/help_plugin` so it is possible that only that plugin uses it.

The patch related to wxTimer is too big, if you can split it in chunks it would be easier to check.

Did the zlib update break something?.

Great - I submitted a few patches, thank you for looking into it.

Do let me know if I should split them into smaller steps (I had to introduce quite a few changes to the `wxTimer` logic in code completion in order to remove the null-pointer crashes).

One of them is to update zlib to 1.3.1 (minimum supported on macOS) and I could branch that out too.

Check "Include host platform defines" in Editor -> Settings -> General settings -> C/C++ Editor settings
