Developing C::B with Git

For devs who want to use Git to develop C::B, here are some steps to follow, especially you need to correctly set the SVN and GIT properties so that you can make your local git commits back to the official SVN repo. See Re: Read-only Git, SVN Repo for Code::Blocks, also stahta01 has a nice instruction about how to use git, see Development How to use a Code::Blocks Git Repo.

If you want to create a SVN style patch from git, see: This forum post.

Debugging C::B

  • When C::B crashes, it will generate a call-stack file "codeblocks.RPT", at the crash point (see this for more information). This is a text file that you can open; if your C::B contains the debug information, it will have file and line information about each call. If your C::B is a stripped version, but you have the debug version of C::B, you can try to run the Debugging made easier, this is an address2line UI interface that works under Windows.
  • You can debug C::B under C::B (with the debugger plugin), also, you can link C::B to the debug version of wxWidgets library, so you can see whether a bug is located in C::B source code or wxWidgets' source code, see here: patch to build C::B against wx debug library
