clangbackend.exe has stopped working – Win 7 64 bit
-
Allo,
Normally, I develop on Linux.
I installed Qt Creator, with the online installer, on Win 7 64 bit. I want to compile the same project for Windows.
I opened the same project.
When I open a .cpp or .h file, by the usual method (The project is open. On the left side, I have the tree view that shows my .h and .cpp files.
As soon as I open one, I get the standard message from Windows:
clangbackend.exe has stopped working
Windows can check online for a solution to the problem.
-Check online for a solution and close the program
-Close the program
-Debug the programI looked at
https://www.qt.io/product/supported-platforms-languages
OK, so I see the Win 10 (or is it Win 8?) logo there.I looked at
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/supported-platforms.htmlWin 7 is in the list.
Is there something wrong with my Win 7?

Hello
@stretchthebitsOK, so I see the Win 10 (or is it Win 8?) logo there.
I have used Qt on both Windows 10 and Windows 7 , So I am sure that win 7 can run QT.
I haven't tried on Win 8 , so not sure about it. And you are talking about win 7 So it should run.Maybe this one could help you

@Thank-You
That website seems to be suggesting to disable the clang plugin. Ok, I did it and the crashes go away but is that good?
That doesn’t fix the problem, it just sweeps it under the carpet. -

That doesn’t fix the problem, it just sweeps it under the carpet.clangbackend.exeis responsible for intellisense and understanding your code and provide inspection and completion features.
Like when you hover over integer it showsint
Something like that.but is that good?
If above mentioned features doesn't impact then there is no problem with it
Can you mention what specs do you use?
If that is less then this can happen due to running out of memoryYou can read more about clangbackend here

Win 7 is in the list.I'm not entirely sure, but I think thats a bug, Win7 support was dropped by the QtCompany the same time Microsoft dropped the support for it.
You can technically still compile for it, but there won't be any patches and bug fixes for it.
That was my last stand.

@stretchthebits
Which version of QT are you using ?
Did you update or install the offline version of QT?
