Qt Debugger does weird stuff

[keford]

Hello to everyone. I'm having problems with the Qt Creator's debugger. Instead of stepping through the code I wrote, it goes into internal scripts. Because of this, I cannot track down the error in my program, and use the debugger in general, because it never exits internal scripts.


It also seems to me that when i start debugging, breakpoints appear by themselves, I did not put them there.
Can somebody please help me to solve this problem?

Good morning @keford
That looks like debugging a release build without debugging symbols. Can we see the compiler output, please?
Cheers
Axel

@keford How are you stepping through? There are to possibilities:

1. Step into a function/method
2. Step over a function/method

Could it be that you did put a breakpoint on some other main.cpp (not necessarily the "ico/main.cpp")?

It happens sometimes if you have debug build. Add another break point somewhere below the current break point and press continue.

@jsulm i tried both, and it seems like there's not much difference. I stiil can't exit internal code, it doesn't matter, how i step through it.

@keford said in Qt Debugger does weird stuff:

I stiil can't exit internal code, it doesn't matter, how i step through it.

FWIW, try Step Out (not In or Over), repeatedly. That's the shortest way to get out of code, if that's what you're trying to do, and if it works for your situation.

@andr i've tried that, and all it does - stops debugging somewhere in the internal code, despite the fact that I put a breakpoint in my code, not in the qt's.
