[SOLVED] QtCreator can not be used to debug std::libc data types

[th.thielemann]

I opened the following ticket : "QTCREATORBUG-13579 - QtCreator can not use to debug std::libc":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-13579 data types. But I am wondering if there is a workaround known?

Details:
Open terminal and start QtCreator.
Set up an c++ application with usage of std::vectorstd::string mylist and add values to this list.
Run the app in debug mode and try to step over vector creation and manipulation.
Try to watch values of type std::string.
QtCreators hangs until timeout of GDB.
Error message in terminal: Unexpected GDB stderr: "Recursive internal problem.

Environment: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS 32 Bit Desktop, Qt 5.3.0, gcc 4.7, gdb 7.4, QtCreator 3.2.1

Hint: Everything is fine using GDB on command line or with Eclipse

Regards,
Thomas

Error depends on Debug settings of GDB in QtCreator. Default settings for QtCreator 3.3 and newer avoid this issue.
