Since CB is a multi-threaded application it needs supporting routines providing it the multi-threading functionalities.

For example, you can plug-in the GCC compiler and GDB debugger and compile and debug your hand written applications.ĬB itself is being compiled with GCC, on windows this is done by using the MinGW port. However several of the mentioned development components can be combined to work together nicely through CB. So CB is NOT a compiler (nor MS, nor Borland, nor GCC), it is not a debugger (nor MS, nor GDB), it is not a makefile system ! So these components are NOT part of CB, and therefor they are also not part of the nightly build distributions. Well it's an IDE (Integrated Development Environment), it means it integrates different tools and makes them work together. For starters ask yourself the question : what is Code::Blocks ? īefore we describe what the builds contain, it might be better to start of with what the nightly builds DO NOT contain. Normally they are pretty stable, but however they can introduce new bugs, regressions, and on the other hand they can introduce new features, bug fixes. They are "binary" distributions, normally provided daily, representing the latest and greatest state of the codeblocks sources.
