Qt Creator

Why does Qt Creator not jump to the erroneous program code but instead jump to an error address when a segmentation fault occurs during debugging?

That happens when the segfault happens in library for which you do not have source code or debugging symbols.

Contains source code and should be able to jump to the erroneous program without debugging symbols when the program encounters an error

What source code? Your own? How does that relate to if the seg fault is in a library for which you do not have source code or cannot be found? Post the stack trace when you get the SEGV so we can see just where it is dying.

Debugger stops exactly where segfault occurs. Often this is somewhere in Qt libraries, 3rd party libs or system libs. You just need to move a few steps back in stack view to find the last part of your code which got executed (and is usually the reason for the crash).
