Malfunctioning watch expressions with CDB

[phlucious]

Hello! I compiled a 64bit version of Qt 4.7.4 for use with Qt Creator 2.3.1. I did this using MSVC2010, so I have to use that compiler and Debugging Tools For Windows (x64) for my development environment.

When I debug a program, some of the qt-specific methods don't work when I set them as a watch expression. Variables also don't display their value when I mouseover during a break, like they do when developing with MinGW/g++.

I'm debugging a custom QFile and attempting to query my position using this->pos(), which works under MinGW/g++. Have any suggestions? I thought that perhaps the wrong qtcreatorcdbext.dll was being loaded, but the log suggests that it's working fine. Does debugging 64bit programs using 32bit Qt Creator have anything to do with it? I doubt it...

Sorry, that expression is too complex for CDB to handle. There is nothing we can do about that.

[phlucious]

Well, nuts. Thanks for the reply!

Would you happen to know of a stable 64bit version of MinGW or am I stuck with msvc2010 for a while?

[tobias.hunger]

Sorry, I hardly ever work on windows, not sure what the current state of the art is there:-)
