I create a Qt project,build the project with msvc2017-32bit kit, and debug the project in Qt Creator. The problem is I can not step into the Qt functions. I can stop at break-points in my own source code, but cannot stop at break-points in files in Qt src directory. When I step into a Qt function, a message Stopped: "end-stepping-range" appears by the debugging buttons. Why could this happen?
According to #user13088490's suggestion, I installed the debugger tools for windows in windows 10 SDK, but the problem persists.
Follow the instructions from Qt here.
For Mac, the instructions are:
In Projects->Build&Run->Run->Run Settings->Run, select "Use debug version of frameworks".
There are different instructions for Windows, but I have not tried it yet.
You probably also need to have QT sources installed.
Go to the MaintenanceTool and check if Qt Creator 4.15.2 CDB Debugger Support and Debugging Tools for Windows has been selected.
I run Qt on Windows, although a different compiler than you, and you can set the debug target paths by going to Tools->Options->Debugger. From here you can click a button Add Qt sources.... Below is an image of my setup and this works for me.

I want to debug, set break points etc in QT SDK sources,
I have QT5.5.0 built with symbols and symbols are picked up, at lest GDB says so.
But I still cannot debug into for Example QGuiApplication, well I don't really care about QGuiApplication but I want to be able to set break point anywhere in QT Sources and stop there when my code get there.
I do have QT 5.5.0 project opened alongside with my project, but setting break point in QT5.5.0 does not have any effect, also stepping into any QT SDK code simply does nothing, it just stays where it was stopped by breakpoint in my project.
So question is how can I place breakpoints in QT SDK code anywhere I want and when I debug my project I will be able to stop in QT code. And how can I step into QT SDK code.
Ubuntu 14.04, QT 5.5.0, Creator 3.6.0, QNX ( ARM platform ) but it is irrelevant.
Don't install any QT binary (qtcore/qtgui),
build from source and
intall them with debug symbols, should be around 200~300M each library.
Make sure your example code is loading the debug version of qt files.
There is an Example tab at the Qt Creator(2.6.1)'s Welcome page, which is supposed to show the already made Qt Project Examples. But whenever I click on that, Qt creator closes automatically. Sometimes it shows the Example projects for 1 or 2 seconds and the exits. Any idea?
You probably need to configure Qt Creator to find your Qt installation.
Compiler configuration for Qt Creator
And you might need to get the msvs compiler, too.
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-products
They now have the mingw version available for windows with Qt 5.0.2.
http://qt-project.org/downloads
Also if you installed Qt without the examples that may also cause this error.
Hope that helps.
My goal is to be working on / debugging qt creator plugins and, maybe, editing / debugging qt creator source code. Towards this end I've tried a couple of things:
Downloading source for the qt sdk and qt creator, compiling each, and then making a qt creator plugin project and hooking everything together by hand. This got complicated pretty quickly (I tried to keep my plugin project outside the qt-creator/src/plugin/ folder) and doesn't really get me to a nice spot in terms of debugging.
Using an installed version of the qt creator to open the qtcreator.pro that came along with the source, adding a qt creator plugin as a sub project, and building everything from the already installed version of qt creator.
I like the second approach a lot because I have control over everything but I can rely on qt creators tools that make projects, enhance debugging, etc. There's just one small problem...
When I run my shiny new build of qt creator (with my plugin project) from inside the installed version all I get is a popup called "qtcreator_process_stub" that says "This is an internal helper of Qt Creator. Do not run it manually. Press to close this window..."
So I'm not really sure how to debug my build of qt creator from my instance of qt creator. Any ideas? Note: if I run the generated Qt Creator.app I get a functioning instance of qt creator with my plugin loaded properly.
I believe this was a versioning problem. I had an older version of the ide installed and was using it to build and debug a newer version of the ide.
I was able, in the older ide, to launch and debug the new ide as an external process through the debug menu... but that was mildly annoying.
Once I installed a new version of the ide I was able to debug like normal.
Today I found that I could not debug in pure C projetc, but I could debug in qt gui project.
The error was “ during startup program exited with code 0×0”.
I was using Win 7 ultimate 64bit sp1. I had tried in another computer, it was the same.
My program ran when I was not trying to debug it.
Could someone help?
Qt SDK 1.2 includes qt lib 4.8 and qt creator 2.4.1.
Uncheck run in terminal, in Projects -> Run Options
If the debugger does not work properly, try the following:
Make sure you use at least Qt Creator 2.1.
Make sure the debugger is set up properly. For more information, see Setting Up Debugger.
In the Debug mode, select Windows > Views > Debugger Log to open the Debugger Log view. Browse the contents of the pane on the right hand side to find out what went wrong. Always attach the contents of the pane to debugger-related questions to the Qt Creator mailing list (qt-creator#trolltech.com) or paste them to creator.pastebin.com before asking questions in the IRC (on the #qt-creator channel at FreeNode).
I just installed qt creator sdk and the windows debug thing. When I try to debug the debugger comes with the warning:
Preferred debugger engine for debugging binaries of type 'x86-windows-msys-pe-23bit' is not available.
The debugger engine Cdb engine will be used as a fallback
Details: There is no gdb binary available for binaries in format 'x86-windows-msys-pe-32bit'
Then the program start building.
When I set breakpoints into the program the debugger won't stop at de breakpoints. I've tried a lot of things to let the debugger work properly but nothing has helped so far. If anybody has a suggestion please let me know. I think it maybe has something to do with the compiler I'm using which is something like mingw but i have no idea how to set another compiler or something like that
Since you do not know msys, most likely you do not need the msys compiler, try mingw compiler itself from here.
make sure to install gcc, and gdb.
Since you did not mention I assume it is Windows, as a side note, if gdb gave you headache on Windows please use the mingw version bundled with Code::Blocks it is probably older though (look for the one that comes with mingw bundled).
You need to get either gdb/cdb installed with Qt to be able to debug your code. Try editing the options in Tools->Options in Qt Creator and pointing to correct gdb paths. That should solve this problem. There are other options available there to configure the gdb options in the settings dialog.
