- Work with advanced C++ features including code debugging and GUI toolkits
In Detail
Code::Blocks is a free C++ IDE designed to meet the extensive demands of C++ developers. Code::Blocks is very extensible and can be easily configured to maintain a consistent look and feel in your application across multiple platforms. If you are looking to develop cross-platform applications using C++, then this book is for you.
This book provides practical explanations for application development with C++ and Code::Blocks. You will get to grips with the many aspects of professional application development with the help of real-life examples. As you proceed through the chapters, you will see yourself effectively working with and implementing advanced C++ features in your application.
The book begins with an introduction to Code::Blocks and detailed instructions on how to install and configure it. You are then introduced to the process of application development with the help of real-life examples. Throughout the course of the book, you will learn how to develop GUI-based applications painlessly. The book also places special emphasis on debugging the application. The later sections take a closer look at using third party C++ libraries and how to implement wxWidgets to develop cross-platform applications. By the end of this book, you will know everything you need to know about C++ application development with Code::Blocks.

window will also be updated when we continue debugging. [ 44 ] Chapter 3 Before continuing with debugging we take a look at debugger related features of Code::Blocks. CPU Registers can be examined by navigating to the Debug | Debugging windows | CPU Registers menu option. A register is a tiny but a high speed buffer embedded within the processor hardware. [ 45 ] App Debugging with Code::Blocks Now navigate to the Debug | Debugging windows | Disassembly menu option; this can be used to
selecting the Intel option in Choose disassembly flavor (GDB only) combo box. Now close the previously opened disassembly dialog and reopen it. It will now show disassembly in Intel flavor as shown in the following screenshot. Please note that the choice of AT&T or Intel style is up to the preference of a developer. It has no effect on the debugging process. [ 46 ] Chapter 3 Currently running threads can be examined by navigating to Debug | Debugging windows | Running threads menu option.
