Yesterday I had done a lot of things like updating GCC, Clang and reinstalling Qt Creator.Today when debugging my code step by step, the debugger was showing the disassembley rather than the C++ code I wrote. Pressing F10 or F11, the debugger was moving into assembly code not the .cpp nor .h files I wrote. F11 can only go into the library files but never into the files I wrote.
The arrow appeared in disassembler:
Rather than in main.cpp:
How can I configure Qt Creator such that the debugging arrow tracks each line in the C++ code?
For others who also had this problem but none of the solutions above worked (like me), I found out that the issue for me was simply happening because my project was inside of a directory with special characters (/home/fabio/criação/project) the criação folder seems to have caused the problem. After I changed to /home/fabio/Desktop/project it stop happening.
I ran into a very similar problem debugging code built with the clang toolset in qtcreator, and this answer fixed me up:
gdb doesn't find source files compiled by clang++
You can quickly check if that solution will work for you by navigating to the root of your solution in a shell window and then invoking qtcreator from there...set a break point in main() and try debugging - if it stops and shows source in main.cpp, it's quite likely this is the problem.
If that does work for you, there are probably several better ways to implement the permanent solution suggested by https://stackoverflow.com/users/1632219/rene, but the method that worked for me was to modify my qmake mkspec file for the clang toolset. On my system, it lives in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.5/mkspecs/common/clang.conf, so all I had to do was put a clang invoker script with 'clang++ "$#"' in ~/bin/clang-compile and then set QMAKE_CXX in the mkspec to clang-compile. With that change, when the clang toolset is selected, qmake builds make files that use clang-compile instead of clang++ and then debugging works everywhere.
At last, I found that it was Clang that had caused this problem. After changed the kit back to using gcc, it just worked fine. But not sure whether it's Clang's fault or that the script Qt produced for compiling has any problem. Anyway just put the answer here in case anyone else who might encounter the same situation.
Goto "Help->About Plugins" and check the "ClangCodeModel" and restart QT.
There is a bug in version Qt 5.6.1 (MSVC 2013, 32 bit) QT Creator4.0.3.
In debug mode put your breakpoint. Then hit the step into(F11) it will start debugging now. To go to your code hit the step-over(F10) until you come to the code page.
I have searched about this problem but nothing worked. Some solution, i didn't get.
This is very annoying issue.
Maybe it will work if you clean, qmake and rebuild.I solved this problem by using this method.

After the setup I've done in the properties of the project: at C++Compiler and Linker in both Release and Debug configurations I tried to build the project, which went successful.
Then I decided to run it and had some difficulties: using External Terminal, that did absolutely nothing, Standard output, that showed some text related to dll files I've clue about, Internal Terminal, that showed the very same text.
After that didn't work I went for cmd execution and what I saw was this.
Could you explain what that means and what I'm supposed to do. I'm new to all that kind of stuff, so I apologise if I did something stupid.
Cheers
EDIT: If not seen, I'm using Windows 10 and the version of SFML is GCC 7.3.0 MinGW (DW2) - 32-bit
I have OSX Yosemite 10.10.5, QtCreator 4.1.0, Qt 5.7.0 and Xcode 7.2.1.
If I write any native C++ program in QtCreator (console, gui - anything) I am unable to debug that program from QtCreator. Breakpoints get ignored, the program executes without pause and runs to completion no matter what I try.
I have tried the Xcode's LLDb, system GDB and Homebrew GDB as debuggers. the versions of GDB fail to start. Homebrew GDB has been codesigned.
This all used to (a few year back) just work beautifully and I am at a loss as to what might have changed.
Curiously, if I generate an exception inside the program - like accessing through a null pointer, the debugger shows me where this happens in just the way I would expect so, presumably, the debugger is running but simply treating me with complete disdain.
I know there are many versions of this question but none seem to address the problem adequately or offer workable solutions, or they apply to much older versions of the products.
Any suggestions?
This version of qtCreator (4.1.0) saw the return of the warning about having the build directory at the same level as the project directory. In Windows, this is done automatically. My mac installation does not get it right. (I may have messed a while back - cannot remember).
So - if the build directory is inside the project directory, debugging fails. Move the build directory up to the same level as the project directory and everything seems to work fine.
You can set the default build directory in the preferences/Build & Run dialogue. The path should start with ../
You will need to think about the folder structure before setting up the project unless you want build folders appearing in awkward places. So, a project folder structure like this is OK:
But one like this is not:
If this was already obvious to you, great. I have been messing with this for ages.
Many thanks to those who replied and anyone else who took the time to read the question. What helped e find it was the suggestion by #AlexanderVX that his setup was the same as mine but his worked. The only bit of my setup he could not see in the screenshots was the start of the build path. So that was the clue.
I have been trying out using Eclipse CDT for a course I am taking. Previously I have been using Visual Studio Express but since that requires me to be online and I have to use the IDE+compiler offline, I switched to Eclipse + Cygwin GCC.
Now everything was working prefectly, until I got an error about file paths in my make file. After reading some of the posts online, the issue seemed to be that Cygwin's make does not resolve absolute Windows file paths because of the ':' symbol and confuses it with a new target definition. The proposed fix was to download a fixed make file. I diligently did so and the programs would compile fine.
But after I went into the first debug session, everything froze. I aborted eclipse and tried a clean build but now the compilation wont happen AT ALL, which is very weird for me.
I can't find a post for a similar problem so I am really stuck now. I was currently working the assumption that my CDT may be corrupt or something so I downloaded Eclipse Luna just today and tried building using that, but no joy. Even a fresh project in a new workspace wont compile.
Appreciate the help in advance.
Did you try redownloading Eclipse? Sometimes Eclipse gets a fatal error glitch that makes it unable to compile anything. I've had this problem before, the only way i was able to fix it was to uninstall and re download the latest version. If this doesnt work, try switching to Bloodshed Dev C++ or codeblocks.
So it seems like an issue with the new make (v3.80). upgating it to v4.08 fixed the issue of not building.
Version 4.08 however does not fix the Windows file paths not being recognized properly and treated as a target definition. I am still getting the multiple target patterns. stop error.
EDIT: Found this on Stack overflow to solve the issue... should have searched better previously.
Very simple application fails with "multiple target patterns" from Eclipse
I'm writing a C++ application using VS2010 on two dev computers - both are Win7 64bit SP1. I use git to sync the repositories.
On one of the machines the compiled executable (and also the test exec) stopped working with the following error, while on the other machine it works fine and I'm able to continue development.
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000000d). Click OK to close the application.
I tried deleting the repository and cloning it again. I also made sure I have the same versions of Boost, git, Visual Studio. Also, I tried debugging (stepping in) but the error occurs before any line of code is reached.
Notice as far as I understand I'm tracking Visual Studio's solution\project configuration files as detailed here.
I'm at a loss, how would you debug this?
UPDATE 1:
Only the Debug version fails to run. The Release version runs fine
UPDATE 2: The executable that doesn't work does work on the other computer!
UPDATE 3: I've reinstalled VS2010 (exactly the same version) - didn't help. Surprisingly the compiled files are not the same size between the two machines.
I got the same problem as you mentioned.
My solution:
Clean the manifest file and rebuild
In the property page-> Manifest tool -> make sure "Additional Options" is set to nothing.
(I set it as "/validate_manifest" before).
Or you can try "Embed Manifest -> NO", rebuild and then set back to Yes. It sounds to be ridiculous, but it really works sometimes. I don't know why.
I got the same phenomenon suddenly without a warning on Win7 / VS2010 / C++. Debug App couldn't be launched, got 0xC000000D at initializing and loading multiple dlls. Found one base dll of my own responsible, played around with linker settings. Modifying settings, incremential rebuild -> app starts, rebuild all -> app crashes again. After setting "generate manifest" to "no" in the linker settings the sample app works, but the main app still crashes. After setting "generate manifest" to "no" for the most of my dlls -> the app starts in debug mode again. The stuff is very spurious, because some dlls need the modified settings others do not.
Have a look at the top two answers to this question
Program crashes with 0xC000000D and no exceptions - how do I debug it?
On the machine where it fails, try running the debug executable NOT under the debugger, and update your question to say what happens. If it crashes, are you able to then attach the debugger whilst the message box is still there and get a stack trace that tells you what function it is crashing in?
This is the weirdest thing....
Try deleting the "ipch" directory and then rebuilding.
Hope it works for you, I have wasted hours on this.
disabling/enabling precompiled headers fixed the issue for me.
I was facing crash on Debug x64 only - I guess it was related to an upgrade from boost 1.50 to 1.52, while keeping pch files.
in my case i got it working again by setting generate manifest to NO on all projects
I have changed "Embed manifest" setting to NO and then back to YES but it didn't help.
For me setting General->Platform Toolset to Windows SDK 7.1 for my program and all dependent libraries compiled with it helped.
It's the ipch just delete the entire folder and it will clear it up. I was confused for a while too.
I saw the error while using OpenCV library compiled with MSVC2010 in a project running on MSVC2015. Changing project configuration properties->General->Platform toolset from Visual Studio 2015(v140) to Visual studio 2010(v100) resolved the error.
I’m porting a C++ sdk from Windows to Mac OSX 10.5. I have a problem in Xcode where my breakpoints in certain files will only be hit if I set them while debugging. If I stop debugging and then restart, the breakpoints no longer get hit. If I add them while not debugging, they don't get hit. This is only in certain files and my breakpoints are always dark blue. i.e. I can’t tell the difference between a breakpoint that will get hit and one that won’t.
Specifically, my sdk is made up of various dynamic libraries. These are built using Perforce jam, which calls the various compile and link executables depending on my OS and compiler version (such as Visual Studio’s cl.exe and link.exe). I have a simple (unit testing) command line application that links to these dynamic libraries and calls code in them. This application on Windows is a Visual Studio project, in which I set breakpoints on library code and expect them to be hit.
I’ve created the same C++ command line utility application in Xcode 3.1.2 that links to the sdk dylibs and calls code in them. Some of the breakpoints work fine. I can set breakpoints in code that’s called from the troublesome code, and step out to the troublesome code, which I can then step through fine. The troublesome code is compiled into the same dylib as code that works fine. It’s also long and complicated enough not to be a candidate for inlining.
I’ve tried the following:
Turn Load symbols lazily off.
Compile with both gcc 4.0 and gcc 4.2.
Do a full clean and shutdown.
Delete the user-specific files of the xcodeproj package.
Rename the files so they can’t clash with system files.
Clear everything out of the Breakpoints window.
Create a new Xcode project.
My application is compiled in debug with DWARF format and my libraries are built with the –g flag (along with –v, –arch i386 and –fvisibility-inlines-hidden).
Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Update: sorry for not updating this, my Mac port project was postponed. I never resolved this, but discovered that it actually only occurs in constructor bodies. I'll revisit this as and when I hit the problem again.
Have you tried these?
Why aren't my breakpoints working?
Not really an answer: You should make a bug report in the official Apple bugtracker. The chances are high that you get an answer sooner or later there - or perhaps it is really a bug.
