How to use debugger in Qt Creator

I use Qt Creator for C++ projects (non-Qt actually). This might be a dumb question, but how do you manage to use the debugger in Qt Creator? I have been using CDB along with VisualStudio or gdb along with IDEs like Code::Blocks and they are all intuitive to use. When it comes to Qt Creator though, I'm hopeless!

For instance, I've tried putting breakpoints, but when I run the code, it just skips the breakpoints without doing anything! What am I doing wrong?

  • You should make "Debug" target, not "Release" one (located projects tab -> build settings -> build configuration)
  • You should use Debug menu items "Start debugging", "Step over", "Continue" etc, not just "Run"

hope it helps.
