Debugger helper

[miwarre]

How nice, I made the debugger helper working under windows (latest QT release 4.5.2, QTCreator 1.2.0).

- Tools->Options->Debugger->Cdb (click under the link "Debugging Tools for Windows") and Install the debugger tools

- Tools->Options->Debugger->Cdb->autodetect
- Tools->Options->Debugger->Debugger helper-> Debug Debugger helper

and now it works!

Hi,

Thanks for the tip: only partial success here.

I run Qt Creator 1.2.0 based on Qt 4.5.2 (32 bit) (pre-compiled binaries) on XP SP3. Installed the MS Dbg tools for Win (in a custom folder, so I could not use "Autodetect" but entered the CDB path directly).

Result: I get reasonably complete data about Qt objects the first time I debug an app in a Qt session (note: reasonably complete, not totally).

But when the app finishes and I try to re-run it, I get the old, un-populated obejct data again. I have to stop Qt Creator, re-start it and debug again: not really convenient...

Something is definitely missing...

P.S.: I am surprised that so few people complain about this very important fact: does (almost) nobody debug his/her apps?

Use 1.2.1. Several bugs related to debugging have been fixed there, among them the "vanishing checkmark" and the "faulty second run"
