[Qt-interest] Regarding the post mortem debugger option

[Patric]

  Actually I was just interested in this option, I don't have a program 
that I want to debug right now.

I know there is a JIT Debug option in the Symbian emulator for example, 
this is when you debug a project you created with the IDE, if it 
crashes, the debugger is automatically set before the crash point.
I was not sure if post mortem debugging is the same. And as far as I 
understand from your response, it'll make QT Creator to start if a 
program crashes even if there are no sources. For example I download 
Skype, skype crashes and QT Creator is started with some useful 
information... or am I missing something ?

Thank you
