“Codeblocks is perfect for c++ development” The plugin support is very good. Error tracing, syntax highlighting etc are some of the feature i like about codeblocks.

How to Use the Code::Blocks Debugger with C Programming

1. Start a new project in Code::Blocks.
2. Choose Console Application and click Go.
3. Choose C and click Next.
4. Type the project title.
5. Click the Next button.
6. Place a check mark by the Create “Debug” Configuration.

Now open CodeBlocks, goto Settings>>Editor>>Syntax Highlighting and then Color Themes.

Code::Blocks doesn’t support debugging such files. Try including the file to be compiled as a part of an empty project or something. In Code::Blocks, go into your Settings menu, then click Compiler . Make sure Global compiler settings is selected in the sidebar, then switch to the Toolchain executables tab.

How to create C program in CodeBlocks IDE

The Code::Block’s debugger allows you to watch any variable in a program, showing you that variable’s contents as the program runs. Exercise 1: Create a new Code::Blocks project with debugging active.

Nope, you have to get down and dirty in memory and look at a variable’s value while the code runs. The Code::Block’s debugger allows you to watch any variable in a program, showing you that variable’s contents as the program runs.

To debug a project, you need to set its target — the resulting program — to have debugging information included. The debugger uses that information to help you locate flaws in your code and generally to see how things work. This process works when you create a debugging target build for your code. Follow these steps:

Start a new project in Code::Blocks. Choose File→New→Project. Choose Console Application and click Go. Choose C and click Next. Type the project title. Click the Next button. So far, these first few steps are the same as for creating any C language console program in Code::Blocks.
