Getting Qt source line numbers to display in helgrind debugging multi-threaded race conditions

[Daniel Williams]

I'm learning about helgrind from David Faure's excellent Qt Developer Days presentation. The presentation was very helpful and I'm able to run helgrind properly. However, in his presentation, the helgrind output includes source code line numbers. In my helgrind output, I only see hex memory locations and line numbers from libraries.

Note: Presentation on youtube...

And webpage with instructions...

I've added "QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -g" to my .pro files, but that doesn't seem to help. Do you have any idea how to get the line numbers / debugging information into the application? The lines below show my current output sample from helgrind

Those warnings are neither from Qt nor from your source code.
If you want line number you have to install the corresponding debug-packages for e.g libgio, libglib etc. in your case.

@Christian-Ehrlicher Thank you.
