[Qt-creator] Latest 3.6.0-rc1 & Debugging on OS X

[Mike Jackson]

Also just wanted to feedback to the QtDevelopers that recent Clang code model code fixes have significantly improved the completion time for, at least, our codes. The editor has gone from unusable to actually usable now. Still a bit slower than Xcode and Visual Studio, but fairly usable now.

The debugging start up is just about normal now but getting some variables like “this” take an extended amount of time (like 15~20 seconds) to gather and display. Not sure if this is because of some deep hierarchy in our classes or something else.

But generally the 3.6 release is starting to shape up nicely and is becoming very usable on OS X again for our project setup*.

>>> That was with NO breakpoints active. If this last piece is being worked on then I think the 3.6 release is shaping up very nicely to make a comeback on OS X. I have switched back to the QtCreator code model and the completion speed and quality is very close to the likes of Visual Studio and Xcode. Keep up the great work.
