QT Creator running debug too slow

[Momergil]

Hello!

Some time ago I updated my Qt installation to Qt 5.2.1 (and AFAIK MinGW to its lastest version as well). Since then, it seems that debug is happening at least 5 times slower then usual for the same machine (using Windows), while I don't remember of any change in my debugging settings that could have led to this.

Is somebody familiar with this situation and could provide some tips on how to speed up running of gdb in Qt Creator/return to my previous debugging speed? And why could have that happened in the first place? :/


Thanks,

Momergil

Is somebody familiar with this situation
Actually I have the same problem. Debugging on Windows using MinGW is slower compared to debugging with GCC on Linux. On Linux there is no noticable performance loss whereas on Windows especially launching the application takes slightly but noticeable more time (both operating systems/compiler are running on the same machine).

Unfortunately I haven't solved the problem. The only tip I can provide is the usage of Linux/GCC instead of Windows/MinGW.

Debugging on Windows using MinGW is slower compared to debugging with GCC on Linux.

Yeah, but my problem is actually that debugging BECAME slower after my changes in my project and updating Qt and all this using Windows. I haven't yet tested how is debugging in another application (my fault), but I'm already considering moving to Linux =/ Taking more then 1 minute to show the first widget is not what I have in mind for "acceptable behavior"!!

Taking more then 1 minute to show the first widget
With "slightly but noticeable" I was takling about a few seconds at the most.


and updating Qt
Maybe it is a good idea to remove Qt, all compilers/debugger and related configuration from your system and reinstall everything again.


after my changes in my project
Which changes do you suspect?
