General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Re: File Association?

« Last post by skrath on March 19, 2026, 06:09:24 pm »

I am not able to open a .c file from Windows Explorer in a second tab, when one .c file is open in IDE. By double clicking on the file icon in Explorer, one IDE comes into focus without actually opening the file.
Can anybody suggest a solution?

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

==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:

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