Accessing gdb console in Qt-Creator

Question

Is there an access to the gdb console from Qt-Creator? For examining frames, dumping to file, etc. Seems a trivial feature but I couldn\'t find a clear reference to weather

Answer 1

Window > Views > Debugger Log. You can type commands in the left pane and send a line to gdb using ctrl+enter. More info here: http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-3.2/creator-debug-mode.html#directly-interacting-with-native-debuggers

For examining frames using the "normal" views, especially the Watchers part of the Locals and Watchers view should probably be the better approach.

Answer 2

In the current Qt Creator 3.0.0 I found it after switching to the Debugger pane under Window→Views→Debugger Log.

The results display in the machine readable format, which is a bit messy to look at, but still fine since I use this only infrequently.
