CodeBlocks Compiler Crashes When Building: A Fresh Installation Fails to Resolve the Issue

As a newcomer to the world of coding and CodeBlocks, I was excited to dive into my projects and start debugging. However, I soon faced an unexpected issue - my compiler crashes when building, leaving me frustrated and searching for solutions.

At first, I thought that the problem might be related to my existing installation of CodeBlocks, which was about two months old. Perhaps a corrupt executable or incorrect compiler/debugger directories were causing the issue? To test this theory, I decided to install CodeBlocks 20.03 from the compiled binary onto a fresh, brand-new installation of Windows 10 LTSB on a virtual machine.

To my surprise, the exact same behavior persisted - the compiler continued to crash when building. This led me to question whether the problem was indeed related to the installation or if there were other factors at play.

As I delved deeper into debugging with CodeBlocks, I encountered another unexpected issue. Certain features of debugging, such as 'Next Instruction' and 'CPU Registers,' failed to behave as expected, causing the debugging process to terminate abruptly.

It's worth noting that I have only been using CodeBlocks for about two months, so this experience has left me feeling a bit disillusioned with the compiler. Despite my best efforts to troubleshoot the issue, I was unable to resolve the problem and continued to experience crashes when building.

If you're facing similar issues with your CodeBlocks installation, I hope that my experience can serve as a cautionary tale. While I have not been able to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem, it's possible that the issue lies with the compiler itself or perhaps there's an underlying bug in the latest version.

In any case, I will continue to explore and debug my projects using CodeBlocks, hoping to find a solution to this frustrating problem.
