set<int> in Qt creator and debugger

No, I simply used the maintenance tool and used the second entry (updating/upgrading?).
Therefore, there could be also some updates invloved for the other tools. I did not pay attention, but it is probably save to assume that the installation for Qt5.4.2 stayed as it was.

@koahnig
Hi i used the update option and updated ONLY Creator.
( and some docs that was not de-selectable)

And i have issue now

So it seems a bug in 4.2.1 .

Soo where is my downgrade option ? :)

@mrjj

Bad luck, I guess. ;)

At least I know that this is not an issue with my specific machine.

Somehow it would be good to have parallel installations of Qt creator as well. However, the implications might be huge.

@koahnig
Its really reproducible.
Just tried in virtual. Same result.

In theory , there should be nothing stopping us from having multiple Creators but
i wonder if a 3.6 version can load the plugins of 4.2.1

@mrjj

I doubt that creator 3.6 can load plugins of version 4.2.1.

I had wasted a while ago my time with enhancing the doxygen plugin. My rational was that at least I can use while doing a complete compilation of creator with all plugins. However, I had found out that another plugin, which I was relying on, changed interface. Adding the mostly non-existing documentation for feaures and interfaces completes in my opinion the nightmare.

Do you know if you can use plugins the other way around (e.g. 3.6 plugins in 4.2)?
Respectively, can you mix MinGW plugins with VS plugins?
The latter one is probably killed by incompatibility of different compilers, or is that assumption wrong?

[mrjj]

@koahnig
yes i assume only minor version will work.
I have 2 creators installed currently. seems to work.
Im not sure how compatible the plugins are but going to try an older creator:)

We cannot use mingw plugins unless creator is compiled with mingw. I made such version to make
testing Designer plugins easier. but to run in the normal creator it must be compiled with vs 2013 or 2015 for 5.8

[koahnig]

I am wondering if this has something to do with the debugging problems?

I am pretty sure that the settings where ok prior to creator update.

Also this looks strange

Image upload is broken :)

@mrjj

Here are the links first pciture
Second picture
Is my handling wrong or is it a general issue with the upload?

[mrjj]

@koahnig
Its general issue. The image is in fact uploaded to cloud server but sadly that area is only
available to the users on that Host. So it remains visible for some time to the poster and "some"
and then its gone.

@mrjj

If I undertand you correctly I would need to install a previous version of Qt creator separately through creator install.exe. Are you aware of any downsides when you are downgrading from the buggy version?
E.g. are there conflicts through the various files holding settings?

As noted before, I am not really happy to downgrade of potential version conflicts, but as it looks to me, it might be the best alternative. I need to debug structures based on std::map now. The same problem there. Probably not surprising I guess.

There might be, you will probably at least need to reconfigure the project's kits (i.e. deleting the *.pro.user files). I'd try to load them directly first though, it might work fine.

It's the same data structure, so no surprise at all, indeed.
