    when i install qt-vs-addin, i saw Debugger Extension.
    the description is: This installs Qt 5 debug type visualizers. this makes it easier to debug Qt objects in VS.
    But, i don't quite understand this, so anyone know what does this mean?
    and what will happen if i donnot select to install Debugger Extension?
    thank you

      It installs stuff like debugger visualizers for Qt types. What it does is format Qt types in debug output e.g. when you inspect a QString variable it will show the actual text instead of a tree of internal implementation, like so:
