== OpenFilesListPlus ==

The development was stopped in early 2018. These versions are to be considered as buggy.

I made recent updates by the end of 2019 :
* it is only for Linux ( ms build is broken )
* I use it every day, and noticed no bug, so it should be considered as stable.

Build :
* it is a C::B project
* you need C::B sources to compile the plugin.
* Only targets lx-dev and lx-dpub are functional.

Announcement for plugins/patches

2015-09-27T15:15:25Z

Earlgrey: /* Plugin announcements */

[[Category:Code::Blocks Plugins]]
=== HowTo announce a new plugin/patch or similar ===

''Please read carefully:''

This WiKi section is to announce:
* a new plugin that is '''not''' within the contrib folder of the SVN repository
* a patch that is '''not''' a bugfix or similar and/or will '''not''' be applied to the SVN repository (e.g. because it's very specific)
* a new lexer/template that is '''not''' completed or approved and/or will '''not''' be added to the SVN

If a plugin/patch/lexer/template is moved to the repository don't forget to remove it from here! This section is intended to '''collect''' the information about available plugins/patches/lexerers/templates in one place. So the announcement should be short and clear. It should (however) include at least the following content:
* Name of the plugin/patch/lexer/template and purpose 
* Version (state) and date of last update (or release in the first place) 
* Link to a thread (to be created) in the developers (plugin) forum for discussion of features, bugs, wishlist etc. 
* A link where the '''most up-to-date''' version can be downloaded (e.g. in the forum). 
The best way may be to copy the section from the '''template''' plugin/patch/lexer/template and update it with your information. This will ensure consistency in the best way! Read the article [[How to add another announcement]] to read how to change the WiKi accordingly.

Code::Blocks Plugins

2015-09-27T15:15:05Z

Earlgrey: /* 3rd Party Plugins */

[[Category: User Documentation]]
== General ==

Code::Blocks' features can be extend by using '''plugins''', most of them listed on this page. There are generally three types of plugins:
# Core plugins - developed and maintained by the core C::B team.
# Contrib plugins - developed and maintained by the community and proven to be very valuable. So they are integrated into the C::B SVN.
# 3rd party plugins - developed and maintained by the community but not (yet?) in the C::B repository. Theses plugins often have their own repository or are being posted (including the source code) in the forums.

'''If you are looking for plugins:'''
# Look in the official release. Notice that the installer / package manager might require you to enable some of the plugins specifically. So READ carefully.
# Search the forums for announcements, especially the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].
# There might be information on the WiKi concerning other plugins on this page and '''[[Announcement_for_plugins/patches|here]]'''.

For Windows users, the default behavior of the current installer (10.05) does '''not''' install contrib plugins. You need to manually check the "contrib plugin" checkbox when asked for selected components to install. There is no way to install them manually afterwards.

'''If you are developing plugins:'''
Surely you can work with plugin as you like, but here are some suggestions:
* Announce them in the plugin development board in the forums - including the (initial) source code at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].

OR

* Setup your own webpage (or use a file sharing platform) and post the link to the sources/binaries/svn access in the plugin development board in the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html].

OR

* Setup a repository, probably at BerliOS or SourceForge, post the link to the sources/binaries/svn access in the plugin development board in the forums at [/index.php/board,14.0.html]. Notice: This is very convenient as attachments in our forum might be deleted from time to time. So it is not safe to post source code in the forums.

Debugging with Code::Blocks

2010-11-11T09:08:29Z

Earlgrey: /* Add Watches */

[[Category: User Documentation]]
=Build debug version of your project=
Make sure that the project is compiled with the -g (debugging symbols) compiler option on, and the -s (strip symbols) option off. This ensures that the executable has debug symbols included.

Compiler optimization switches should be turned off, stripping symbols (-s) ''must'' be turned off.

Keep in mind that you may have to '''re'''-build your project as up-to-date object files might not be re-compiled with -g otherwise. Please be aware that in compilers other than GCC, -g and/or -s might be a different switch (-s might not ba available at all).

Menu => Project => Build Options

[[Image:DbgProjBuildOpt.png|Set Project Build Options]]

=Add Watches=
Open The Debugger Watches Window

[[Image:DbgWatchWindow.png|Open Watch Window]]

The list of watches can be saved to a file and later re-loaded. To do so, right click in the list of watches and select "save watch file" (and "load watch file" to re-load them again).

[[Image:Save watch.png]]

Note : when debugging, double-clicking on a frame in the "call stack" debug window does not automatically update the variables displayed in the "watches" debug window.

You have to right-click on a frame in the "call stack" debug window and select "Switch to this frame".

[[File:DWCB_watches_01.png]]

=Set Breakpoints=
Find the line containing the variable to be watched. Set a breakpoint in a position that will allow you to observe the variable value.

Menu => Debug => Toggle Breakpoint

[[Image:DbgSetWatchVar.png|Choose Watch Variable]]

Run the debugger until the breakpoint is reached. Right click the variable to set a watch in the Watch Window.

Breakpoints may also be toggled with a left click in the left editor margin.

=Notes on Setting Breakpoints=
==Path with spaces==
Breakpoints could not work if the path/folder you've placed your project contains spaces or other special characters. To be safe use English letters, digits and '_'.

==Update to the newest version of mingw==
From gdb 6.8 released on April 2008, it supports many features which does not exist in early versions. You can update by installing binaries from [http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ TDM-Mingw package].

==Limits on the early version of mingw==
If your are still using the mingw and gdb 6.7 from [https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/5 8.02 setup files], setting breakpoints in the constructor will not work. Here are some tricks.

Breakpoints do not work in constructors or destructors in GDB 6.7 and earlier version. They do, however, work in routines called from them. This is an early GDB restriction, not a bug. So you could do something like:

[[Image:DbgWithCBExp.png|Debugging ctor/dtor ]]

...and place a breakpoint in "DebugCtorDtor" at the line "int i = 0;" . The debugger will break at that line. If you then step the debugger (Menu Debug => Next Line; or alternatively F7) you'll reach the code in the contructor/destructor ("is_initialised = true/false;").
