I recently switched from Dev-Cpp to Code::Blocks. I love the interface but there is this small problem that is bothering me. Whenever i save the file and the cursor is on a line with no text it goes to the start of the line, i have to press tab many times to get it to where it was so as to maintain indentation. Its irritating at times :( Is there any way to stop the cursor from going to the start of the line ?
I just switched myself - due to Dev-C++'s lack of maintenance, Code::Blocks is a hundred times better, and I curse myself to ashes for not having installed it before.
Anyway, I noticed the think you're talking about, too, but it doesn't really bother me. Try sending them a mail?
Btw, erasing the newline and going on the line above, then pressing enter, should get you back to your preferred level of indentation.
The tip IceDane suggests is what I do, what you may want to look for is the remove white space setting. I remember seeing it but I am not on a computer with it installed at the moment.
Have any of you guys tried compiling Code::Blocks yourselves, or do you use the binary package?
I had a hell of time trying to compile it myself, and I eventually just gave up. I'll give it another try some day.
[edit] Good god that was horribly off topic. I'm sorry. [/edit]
Eh, what's the need of compiling it yourself?
I gave it a shot before on a linux box, eventually got it to compile but took a lot of work. Now I just wait for releases for my OS.
Its a preface to porting it to a nonstandard architecture. It also proves the compiler is operating correctly. In order for a compiler to be complete, it has to compile itself in a multiple step process that results in an executable that compiles its own source to produce the exact executable that was used to compile it.Quote:

That may have missed the mark for this topic (IDE vs Compiler) but i felt it was quote worthy. Pending signature addition. :)Quote:
