In the future, please use WikiFormatting.

Confirmed with Xcode 9.2 on Sierra.

The code contains this line:

#define type(obj) ((obj)._type)

This conflicts with the way that the OS headers want to use type.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Maybe the first thing we should try is to update codeblocks to 17.12.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

codeblocks 17.12 doesn't contain an updated squirrel lib, so it should still have the problem, but squirrel lib has fixed it ​here; maybe we could backport it. Certainly, we should notify the developers of codeblocks to update their squirrel lib.

I would like to step out of the codeblocks maintainership. The authors are not really responsive, in particular not when it comes to Mac issues (since no developer has access to a mac), filed bug reports and even patches stay open for a very long time, the releases are scarse, compiling takes a lot of time and I don't even use the software myself. It was non-voluntarily assigned to me after doing a bunch of wxWidgets-related changes.

If anyone is willing to look into this, please take it over.

Please close this ticket. It is too old and this issue is not actual any longer.
