QtCreator 4.1 debugging issues on Windows

[anemoff]

Hi,

My issue is the following:

• I can start a debug session if I dont' have any breakpoint set in my project. I really have to delete them. Disabling them does not help. I can see in the process explorer that CDB has started, but the lower-right progress bar in Qt Creator shows "Launching debugger" forever, and nothing happens.
• I can start a debug session and then create breakpoints.
• I cannot attach to a running process, with or without breakpoints before attaching.

I have recently upgraded to QtCreator 4.1. I was previously using version 3.5.1 and everything worked fine.
I have also recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 although I am not sure this might be related. I have installed the Windows 10 SDK.
I cleaned all previous QtCreator settings before installing QtCreator 4.1, to start with clean settings.

My project is using MSVC 12.0 (2013), CMake and Ninja.

Here are my settings:

• Options > Build & Run
  • Kits
    • Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 12.0 (amd64)
    • Debugger: Auto-detected CDB at C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64\cdb.exe
    • CMake Tool: System CMake at C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake\bin\cmake.exe
    • CMake Generator: CodeBlocks - Ninja
    • CMake Configuration: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=%{Compiler:Executable}; CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:STRING=C:\ninja\ninja.exe
  • Compilers
    • Auto-detected
      • Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 12.0 (x86)
      • Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 12.0 (amd64_x86)
      • Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 12.0 (amd64)
      • Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 12.0 (x86_amd64)
      • Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 12.0 (x86_arm)
      • Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 12.0 (amd64_arm)
  • Debuggers
    • Auto-detected
      • Auto-detected CDB at C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x86\cdb.exe
      • Auto-detected CDB at C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64\cdb.exe
  • CMake
    • Auto-detected
      • System CMake at C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake\bin\cmake.exe (Default)

Here is my debugger log when I start a debug session with F5 and 1 breakpoint:
I have intentionnally replaced private paths by "XXX" in the log.

Am I missing something ?

Thanks!
