Code Blocks

Jun 2, 2010 at 8:07am
I'm trying to compile and run my codes using code blocks but a message suddenly appeared. It states that "ENCODING CHANGED. The saved document contained characters which were illegal in the selected encoding. The file's encoding has been changed to UTF-8 to prevent you from losing data."

I didnt change the setting or configure anything. I also didnt change the way I encode like illegal characters.I didnt noticed this for the past days. Do you know whats the reason behind this?

Maybe your code contains special characters (non - ascii)

Yeah, this can happen when you paste code from somewhere without being aware that it contains non ascii characters.
Also, make sure to use the latest version of Code::Blocks.

For sure. 8.02 had some annoying bugs, like it wouldn't automatically compile with GCC when the extension was .c, and you had to go invoke it manually at the command line.

I never noticed any of those, not that I used it much. I've only recently gone back to using an IDE.

I'm not so sure why but it works fine now.

By the way,--- Code::Blocks 10.05 released.
I'm not informed about this until awhile ago.
