[Qt-creator] how to attach sources for debugging?

[Aekold Helbrass]

I am using NetBeans (Java) for my everyday work, so I'll describe it as example:

Let's assume our line of code looks like this:
painter.drawText(getX(), getY(), getString());

When you're pressing "step into" in NetBeans it highlights all step
into possibities, four of them in example above, and highlights one of
them as default one, so you can press step into once again to go into
default one or you can click with your mouse on any other to step into
it. Then, when you're stepped all your way up to the end of getX() for
example you're returned to the same line, with one function marked as
visited, and you can step into another one.

In QtCreator it steps in the first one to execute (getX() in our
case), and when you're stepping over the internals of function up to
the end - Qt Creator will not show you the original line again with
possibility to step into next function but will act as step over it.
So it took me some time to understand that I should press "step into"
on the last lines of getX() to step into getY(), but I can't just skip
them and step directly into drawText().
