Qt Creator debugger does not stop on breakpoints in non-Qt console applications? Bug?

Qt Creator debugger does not stop on breakpoints in non-Qt console applications? Is this a bug or a feature?

If I have this:


#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

return a.exec();
}

Breakpoints work but if I remove the Qt stuff the debugger does not stop on the breakpoints anymore.

If you remove the Qt stuff from the above example then there is nothing to breakpoint on, as its probably all optimised out.

Well, I have functions and stuff. The quote above was just to show what I'm removing. I want to brake and trace into these functions but the debugger passes over them if I'm just doing something like this:

#include <iostream>
#include "mylib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

doSomething();
cout << "something";
doSomething2();



return 0;
}

The debugger works on the following as expected:

#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
#include "mylib.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

doSomething();
cout << "something";
doSomething2();


return a.exec();
}


The same code in VS has no problems. So I guess it is a Qt Creator feature.
