Need some debugging tips for Qt

[montylee]

I have used GDB for debugging C programs.
What's the best way to debug a Qt program? I think i need to compile my application using the -g option for debugging.

Should i use gdb or a graphical tool like kdbg, ddd? There are also IDEs like QDevelop and KDevelop, so which one to use.

Here is some but doesn't apply to GDB http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/debug.html

These are the basic things which i already know. I want to know which tool/IDE is the best for debugging.

Use the one tool that you use for development - KDevelop, Visual Studio, Eclipse, Qt Creator... Alternatively use kgdb or directly gdb itself (which is often the best choice). The frontend doesn't really matter. What matters is your knowledge about debugging and using the backend tool properly.

ya, i also felt the same after creating this thread.
I am using QDevelop for now as i have used it before too. Along with that i can now use gprof too :)
