Development / Quickly fully expanding a project's tree
« Last post by prospero on April 29, 2026, 06:53:34 am »
I like to view the entire tree of a project, and I find it annoying that I have to manually expand all of the subdirectories. I checked the menus, checked keyboard shortcuts, and there seems to be no way to do this quickly. It's one of my few C::B pain points. I've already got a basic patch in the works for this that adds an "Expand all" option to project and folder (including virtual) right-click menus in projectmanagerui.cpp. Is there any interest in this?

Yes, but I'm trying to determine if there is any interest in it.

As far as I'm concerned I'm very interested to try a modern GDB/MI instead of using the old annotation mechanism. CB seems to be the last IDE still using the annotation mechanism. CLion, CodeLite. KDevelop, Eclipse, QTcreator...are all using GDB/MI.

@pecan:
Thanks for the explanation of how and where github clones a repository. I'm sure others may learn from it.
Regards.

Where does github place the debugger_gdbmi folder ?

If you mean where does it place the folder when you clone the source, it places it in the currently active directory.
,
So if I "cd F:\proj", "mkdir myNewDir", "cd myNewDir", then  "git clone https://github.com/pecanh/debugger_gdbmi",
the directory myNewDir will contain a sub folder named debugger_gdbmi_main containing the source.

If you mean where does it place the debugger_gdbmi.zip when you download the zip file, it places it where your systems specifies the download directory to be. For me, it's c:\users\pecan\download.

wouldn't we add it to our normal source tree, as a contrib plug-in ?

Yes, but I'm trying to determine if there is any interest in it.
I've found that adding a plugin to the contribs and especially updating autoMake is very painful and error prone.
I'd rather avoid the pain if there's no interest.

Installation Guide: Debugger GDB/MI Plugin
A CodeBlocks plugin using the machine interface of the GDB debugger.

Source is available at github Source
Preparation
  • Clone or download a zip
  • Cloning creates a folder named debugger_gdbmi
  • A zip file needs to be unzipped in a 'debugger_gdbmi' folder.


.cbp files included:
  • debugger_gdbmi_wx32_64WK - compiles to the currently active src\devel_32_64 folder.
  • debugger_gdbmi_wx32_64      - compiles to ..\..\..\devel32_64
            (use only when debugger_gdbmi resides within the contrib workspace.
  • debugger_gdbmi_wx32_64Nly - compiles to $(#cb)\devel32_64
            (CodeBlocks will ask you to define the global 'cb' macro to point to CodeBlocks source folder.
  • Note: The other .cbp(s) are defined as if debugger_gdbmi resides within the contrib workspace.
             Move debugger_gdbmi into that workspace or modify the .cbp(s)

Installation
  • Load and compile debugger_gdbmi with the desired .cbp
  • Close CodeBlocks and run src/update32_64
  • You should find debugger_gdbmi.dll in the src\output32_64\share\CodeBlocks\plugins folder
  • You should find debugger.gdbmi.zip in the src\output32_64\share\CodeBlocks folder

Configuration

     After installation, restart CodeBlocks and go to Settings->Debugger->GDB/MI default
  • Set the executable Path to your gdb.exe.
  • Verify the other options meet your requirements.
  • Click on the Ok button.

Usage
    Go to MainMenu->Debug->Active Debuggers and select GDB/MI default.
