Debug applications
You can debug:
- Qt C++ applications using the Visual Studio debugger.
- Qt Quick applications using the QML debug engine.
- Applications on Linux using GDB.
Set breakpoints in C++ and QML files and step through the execution of code. While in break mode, watch variables and change their values, as well as evaluate arbitrary expressions. For Qt Quick applications, a QML debugging session runs concurrently to a C++ debugging session, which enables you to set breakpoints and watch variables in both C++ and QML during the same debugging session.
To start a debugging session:
- Go to Debug > Start Debugging.
- Press F5.
