[Qt-creator] Slow performance on OSX Mavericks (10.9)

[Michael Jackson]

Eike,
  I pulled down the latest qt-creator 3.0.x snapshot and gave it a go on OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. I believe  I set up my "Kits" to use LLDB instead of GDB and this small snippet of code:

   QVector<int> foo;
  foo.push_back(1);
  foo.push_back(3);
  std::cout << "foo[0]: " << foo[0] << std::endl;

does not have the proper values in the variable "foo" in the Variables View. I set a breakpoint on the second line and the variable "foo" says it has zero items. I step past the next few lines and the variable "foo" (according to the debugger view) still has zero items. Yet the std::cout call successfully outputs the proper value. Tried the same under the system gdb and the debugger views showed all the correct values.

This is with Xcode 4.6 under OS X 10.8.5

Hope this helps
Mike Jackson
