Debugging a shared lib

[mike4]

Hi
how can I debug a shared lib in qtcreator? it stops somewhere in assembler of the main executable but never reaches my plugin (shared lib)
Many thanks
Michael

You'd link the library to a minimal executable with an

@
int main(...)
{
call_function_from_library();
}
@

put a breakpoint at main, press F5, F11 etc..

[EDIT: code formatting, please wrap in @-tags, Volker]

I don't want to link, my app IS a shared lib defined in the *.pro.
I've reported this to bugs.

How can a app be a shared library?

[Duck]

A shared library is not an "app", and it cannot be debugged "stand alone", pretty much because you can't run it "stand alone" either.

it's a X-Plane plugin but thanks anyway

Then your application is "X-Plane" and you debug this. At some point of time it will load the plugin, and you can debug that.
