Note: Codeblocks currently can build against wxWidgets 2.8.12 library. I think it was not stable to build against wxWidgets 2.9.x.

Hi, today, I build gdb with "-O0 -g", here is the variables I see when it crashed.

Look, the value "0xabababab", I'm not sure why gdb report: out of bounds, where does this value come from?
