[Qt-creator] Qt Creator: Testers for Windows 64 Bit Creator / CDBdebugger wanted!

[Boy Lenssen]

I'm having problems getting it to debug.

I've checked Debugger->Debugging Helper -> 'use debugging helper'.
I've tried setting a location but gave the same problem.

In ss1.png you can see the error I get. Then when I go to 'settings' and
check there, the checkbox is set to unchecked. I've rebuild the Qt
version I use, but didn't help (see ss2.png).

Hi,

we got some feedback indicating that there is interest in CDB support as

well as AMD 64 Bit support (Itanium (ia64) is not supported). At

ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtcreator/snapshots/2009-05-25/qt-creator-win-x6
4-20080525.exe

you can get a 64 Bit build of Qt Creator. This is just a self-extracting

file, not a proper installer. Just extract into a directory and launch 
bin\qtcreator.exe to start Creator. If you only want to test CDB 
debugging on 32 bit platforms, try

ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtcreator/snapshots/2009-05-25/qt-creator-win-op
ensource-1.1.80-200905252201-setup.exe

Next, get the debugging tools from Microsoft:
32 Bit: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
64 Bit:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/install64bit.mspx

Remember: This depends on the Creator Version i.e. with Creator for 64 
bit you need the 64 bit debugging tools even if you want to debug 32 bit

apps. You can, however, install both versions of the debugger
side-by-side.

As a compiler, you can either use Visual studio, or the compiler from 
the latest stable Windows SDK:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F26B1AA4-741A-4
33A-9BE5-FA919850BDBF&displaylang=en

Creator should detect the Compiler and the Debugger automatically. Just 
open a .pro file, select a VS-based Qt in the project settings and try 
to debug away. The compiler should also support debugging helpers, which

you may need to compile first (Options -> Qt4 -> <Select your version> 
-> Rebuild) and check if they are enabled by default (Debugger -> 
Debugging Helpers -> Use Debugging helper should be checked).

Note: It should be perfectly possible to use a 32 project for testing. 
You can also recompile Qt for MSVC to be 64 bit by compiling it using
MSVC's or Windows SDK's 64 bit console.

Known issues:

- In this version, 64 Bit support exists only for qmake based projects
- Creator will report all SDKs as being the Visual Studio Version they 
are compatible with (e.g. 8.0, 9.0). We are still looking into ways to 
detect them correctly.
- Associative data structures cannot be inspected.

If you encounter problems:

- In the debug view, copy the contents of the debugger tab (enable with 
Debug -> Tools -> Debugger) and check the Settings page.
- Creator should warn you if it has difficulties with the degbugger 
engine. The warning will become visible in the Tools -> Options -> 
Debugger -> Cdb page (might require a restart of Creator).
- If the dumpers cannot be build properly (you get a red cross instead 
of green check mark), hit "Show Log" (After clicking Options -> Qt4 -> 
<Select your version> -> Rebuild) to see why the compilation of the 
debugging helper failed.

Please include the respective output in error reports.

Happy testing!

Daniel
