Qt creator: where can I find the debugging symbols within my project?

I am trying to understand 'qmake' by following this tutorial . However, when I run my .pro file WITHOUT using CONFIG += debug and then WITH it (to add the debugging symbols), I see no difference. I want to see these debugging symbols, where exactly I can find them within my project ?

I want to see how they can help me as a developer ?

They should show up in the build directory specified in your project settings in Qt Creator.

With MSVC2010, it creates a pdb file in <Project>/debug when using Qt Creator.

Here is the qmake line:

qmake.exe "C:\path\to\myproject\myproject.pro" -r -spec win32-msvc2010

Which is probably getting executed in:

"C:\path\to\myproject\debug"

or if you are using shadow building enabled in Qt Creator, it will end up in:

"C:\path\to\myproject-build-VS2010-<QT_VERSION>__Debug"

http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/qmake-manual.html

Hope that helps.
