    What is the question?

    Do you have trouble parsing the message? It basically says: Use a debug build!

    With release build there is no way to map a address in the program back to the source code, so valgrind can only output "something is wrong at 0xdeadbeef" while with a debug build it can say "something is wrong in main.cpp line 42".

          I quote:

          bq. The tool is designed to be used in Release mode.

          ...and this is not a typo by me.

            Best would be to open a bug report on the "bugtracker":https://bugreports.qt-project.org - this way the devs get the attention. I'm pretty sure that typo will be fixed in the next version then :)

              I guess it should have read [quote]The tool is designed to be used in Debug mode.[/quote] and Tobias misread and thought it actually said that. Indeed, please open a bugreport, or better yet, send a submit a patch for Qt Creator. It can't be hard to find this mistake in the source of Creator.

                    That's why you need proofreading a book, a thesis, or even a forum post ;-)
