[SOLVED] Debugging with GDB, F10 steps into all functions

floatingWoods

Hello,

I am debugging my Qt application (Qt 5.1.1, MinGW, Windows) using QtCreator and GDB. I can set breakpoints, and the debugger will correctly pause there. But it seems that pressing F10 will not execute the instruction on the current line, but rather either:

jump into it (effectively doing a F11)
jump back-and-forth a few lines before entering it

This is very annoying. Is this the normal behaviour? Or what am I doing wrong?
Except for that strange behaviour, the debugger produces correct values as it seems.

Thanks

I use gdb, even remote on linux embedded, and I could say F10/11 work just fine! :)

Are you using a optimized build?

Those tend to rearrange instructions which in turn can make your debugger "jump around" instead of going from one line to the next.

Thanks a lot Tobias, that was it!
