Using Code::Blocks / Dark blue text on 'Start here' page hard to read on black background

« Last post by lin_lcs on March 19, 2026, 07:07:15 am »

The startup page "Start here" displays dark blue text on a black background, which is difficult to read. Is it possible to change the font color? 


Code::Blocks: svn 18326
wxWidgets: 3.3.2

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Re: Valgrind and Cachegrind

« Last post by Miguel Gimenez on March 17, 2026, 11:58:57 am »

==33537== (see section Limitations in user manual)

On Linux, Valgrind determines at startup the size of the 'brk segment' using the RLIMIT_DATA rlim_cur, with a minimum of 1 MB and a maximum of 8 MB. Valgrind outputs a message each time a program tries to extend the brk segment beyond the size determined at startup. Most programs will work properly with this limit, typically by switching to the use of mmap to get more memory. If your program really needs a big brk segment, you must change the 8 MB hardcoded limit and recompile Valgrind.

The segment is trying to grow to 72 MB, far higher than the 8 MB limit. If you are using malloc() to allocate memory you can ignore this message.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: CB crash today ... but I can continue to use

Thank's to CB Team.

Anomaly corrected (apart "option IMPLIB=xxx", but I can add in another options in linker TAB). It's alright.

You can close this topic.

Regards.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: Lexer for C only?

« Last post by christo on March 15, 2026, 06:45:39 pm »

For C coders, patch https://github.com/josephch/codeblocks/commit/c44cbfaeb666a3eb205dc23bae547c7db849d879.patch can be used.

It cannot be used for those who code in C++ as lexer is applied based on extensions and .h can have only one type of lexer. Extension .h supporting C and C++ based on project  would be a nice feature.

I'm also a C coder.

Did you find any solution?

Kind of. I started using KDevelop and constructed a custom color theme for it using the colors from Code::Blocks. You can get it from here:
https://github.com/1Hyena/kdevelop-theme

KDevelop is actually good IDE for large projects (more then 50k lines of code)

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Valgrind and Cachegrind

« Last post by Evan on March 14, 2026, 03:18:53 pm »

I'm testing my C99 code, that seems to run as intended and I'm using valgrind-3.22.0. on Linux Mint 22.3 and Code::Blocks  Build: 2024-03-31
command: valgrind  --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes --xml=yes

-------------- Application output --------------

I hope that means no memory leaks and my System Monitor is not showing any leaks/peaks.


Cachegrind however gives a message: brk segment overflow in thread #1: can't grow to 0x4856000
valgrind --version
valgrind-3.22.0

Any help is appreciated?

The tabs were already there, but they were mixed with spaces so I unified them.

Nightly builds / Re: The 12 March 2026 build (13823) is out.

Hi.

32 bits version for Windows (and also 64 bits version) can be downloaded from my website.
I made both a wxWidgets-3.2.10 and wxWidgets-3.3.2 linked versions

Debian Trixie (64 bits) and Bookworm (32 and 64 bits) can be installed from my repo
The corresponding unsigned deb files can also be downloaded from the website page linked above.

Ubuntu-22.04, 24.10 and 25.10 versions can be installed from my ppa (they are now available for both amd64 and arm64 architectures).

Regards
Xav'
