Qt Creator 4.12.1 - gdb does not hit breakpoints (CMake project)

t-hex

Hello.
I have some issues with debugging my CMake application in Qt Creator 4.12.1. I managed to reproduce following problem on 2 different computers, also with the very basic C++ "Hello World" application.

When I compile my application using CMake with Mingw64 g++ compiler and start it in debug mode with breakpoints set, seems like all breakpoints are ignored and none of them is hit.

I am using MinGW-W64 GCC-8.1.0 x86_64-posix-seh compiler. The CMake version is 3.17.3.

Seems like everything, in Kits configuration is set properly - Mingw compiler and debugger were detected automatically.

This is my CMakeLists.txt file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

project(MingwDebuggerTest LANGUAGES CXX)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG} -Wall")
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE} -Wall")

set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE ON)

add_executable(MingwDebuggerTest main.cpp)

When compiling the application I can see that "-g" option is passed as argument:

Despite of that, when I start application in debug mode, no breakpoint is hit. I've tried to run "gdb" directly from console on compiled exe, set the breakpoint manually and run the debugger - breakpoint is correctly hit.

Here is the log from my Global Debugger Log window:

Not sure what am I doing wrong or is this an issue with Qt Creator? Can somebody help me with this? I was unable to find the issue. Application still runs as if no breakpoints were set at all.

Not sure if this can mean something but also if I run the application in debug mode I'll get following output (however I believe I should still be able to debug my application even without symbols loaded from dependencies, but maybe it can cause the problems for Qt Creator?):

21:15:46: Debugging starts
Could not load shared library symbols for 15 libraries, e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll.
Use the "info sharedlibrary" command to see the complete listing.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
