[Qt-creator] Cannot step through source code with Qtcreator

[Haipeng Jin]

Thanks for your reply.  The problem was not the “-g” flag as I had “CONFIG += debug” and was able to load the binary in gdb and debug by stepping through source code (all the symbols are loaded properly).

I did some more testing after sending the previous message. It seems that now I am able to step through the source code (without incurring the disassembly window) if I start qtcreator in the project’s directory. For example, if my project is /work_dir/test/test.pro, then I have to start qtcreator in /work_dir/test and the debugging would work fine. This is kind of strange as I won’t be able to switch to other projects without closing qtcreator and debug.

As a result, I can only step through the disassembly code instead of the c source code. Trying to close the disassembly window and switching to c source code window does not help, as soon as I press F10 again, the disassembly window shows up again. I tried to toggle the “Operate by instruction” setting, it does not help either.

This might be a build without debug information. Check whether there's a "-g"
present on the compiler command lines in the "Compile Output" pane. If it is,
send the debugger log ({Windows,Debug}->Views->Debugger, right pane).
