General (but related to Code::Blocks) / wxWidgets 3.3.1 can only be used in the ucrt platform, not the mingw64 platform?

« Last post by ollydbg on August 12, 2025, 09:04:13 am »

Hi, when I looked at the packages of the msys2, here: https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-wxwidgets3.3

I see it only has 3 platforms: ucrt, clang64, clangarm64.

While if you looked at the wxwidgets 3.2 ( https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-wxwidgets3.2 ), I see extra platforms: mingw64.

Is it because that the 3.3.1 will support the dark mode, and the dark mode API are only supported by the ucrt library?

Thanks.

We switched to gcc 15.1.0 (on 23 May 2025) --> download the new wx/mingw dll's see link below

Get the compiler we use here : https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_mingw/releases/download/15.1.0posix-12.0.0-ucrt-r1/winlibs-x86_64-posix-seh-gcc-15.1.0-mingw-w64ucrt-12.0.0-r1.7z

Get quick announcements through the RSS feed http://www.codeblocks.org/nightly/CodeBlock_RSS.xml

Before you use a nightly make sure you understand how it works.

Development / Re: Crash on start (wxWidgets 3.3.1, 64 bits)

« Last post by Miguel Gimenez on August 08, 2025, 04:55:24 pm »

I have found the origin of the "corruption": wxWidgets 3.3 saves perspectives in layout3 format, while wxWidgets 3.2 only recognizes layout1 and layout2. This comment in wxAuiManager::LoadPerspective() explains the scope of each format:

Code

  // check layout string version
    //    'layout1' = wxAUI 0.9.0 - wxAUI 0.9.2
    //    'layout2' = wxAUI 0.9.2 (wxWidgets 2.8)
    //    'layout3' = wxWidgets 3.3.1

Sadly, there is no way to make SavePerspective() use layout2 format, so when switching from C::B compiled with wx3.3 to another compiled with wx3.2 the saved perspective will be ignored silently. The inverse will work OK.

This is independent of my proposed patch, so I think I can apply it.

Thank you both for the comments. I have made some changes

Code

void InfoPane::ReorderTabs(CompareFunction cmp_f)
{
    if (m_Pages.IsEmpty())
        return;

    m_Pages.Sort(cmp_f);

    cbAuiNotebook::Hide();

    size_t index = 0;
    for (size_t i = 0 ; i < m_Pages.GetCount(); ++i)
    {
        const Page* page = m_Pages.Item(i);
        int pageIndex = GetPageIndex(page->window);  // wx3.3.0 has GetPagePosition()
        if (page->indexInNB < 0)
        {
            if (pageIndex != wxNOT_FOUND)
                RemovePage(pageIndex);

            if (page->window)
                page->window->Hide();
        }
        else
        {
            if (pageIndex == wxNOT_FOUND)
                pageIndex = AddPagePrivate(page->window, page->title, page->icon);

            if (index++ != static_cast <size_t> (pageIndex))
                if (index < GetPageCount())
                    MovePage(page->window, index);
        }
    }

    cbAuiNotebook::Show();
}

that work with wxWidgets 3.3.1, but if you later start the "old" C::B (compiled with wx3.2.8 ) the layout in default.conf is corrupted.

I have tested with GetPagePosition() but there is no difference.

I think the problem is MovePage() in wx3.2.8 is tolerant to invalid indexes, and the behaviour with these invalid indexes is needed in the algorithm.

EDIT: IIRC saving AUI layouts has also changed, I hope this is not related.

The last changes are compilation-related, they do not modify behaviour.

With the SVN changes made after the build today/yesterday/tonight/UTC/local date etc after the build if the SF chronological order is right then is it worth testing or using this nightly build?

Development / WxWidget support query

« Last post by Wkerry on August 08, 2025, 11:15:08 am »

With so many CP and bat and etc files for different Wxwidget versions is there a way of simplifying the build process to move the wxwidget version into a variable or config item and then use it in the build process so that the number of files that are needed to build CB is reduced and made easier for the people attempting to build CB?

Development / SVN changes - code review query

« Last post by Wkerry on August 08, 2025, 11:11:12 am »

Do the CBdevs do code reviews before merging to the trunk?

Some of the changes in the last week are suspect, but I do not know what I am looking to ensure that they meet the CB way of working or are fit for purpose.

I get an assert on startup:

../trunk/src/aui/auibook.cpp(2857): assert "Assert failure" failed in FindTab(): Window unexpectedly not found in any tab control

In safe-mode it does not show up. Its svn build  rev 13693.

I have not yet compiled the latest svn with wx-3.2.
