Breakpoint with hourglass

[SGaist]

Hi,

Out of curiosity, are you locked to these old versions of Qt and compiler ?

[Giox79]

Hi @SGaist thank you for yoyr reply.
I have to use the MSVC 2008 because of a license company issue.

However, if needed, I can upgrade the QT library.
Do you think there is some issue related to my MSVC compiler?
Is there any bug already traced on the web? I was not able to find any document about this, but any help culd be useful.

Finally, I have a question, do you know why, on the kit panel, QtCreator suggests to use the CDB 64 bit, while I'm using a QT library version built for x86? I tried both CDB 64 and 32 bit, but I wasn't able to fix the issue.

[SGaist]

I'd go with at least Qt 4.8.7 since it's the latest and last of that series if you can't upgrade to Qt 5.

No I don't but I'd check the value of the compiler used within that kit.

hi @Giox79, from your debugger log I see that Creator wants to start a 64 bit CDB. so you should check your settings.

Regarding the old versions: I still use Qt 4.8.2 with MSVC 2010 and Creator 4.5, so your setup is not too exotic. I guess after correcting the settings it will work.

Hi @aha_1980 thank you for your help.
I tried uninstalling the x86 Debugging tools for Windows and installing the 64 bit one but I'm not able to fix the issue.

I found, I think, an interesting news.
Looking at the "Debugger log" panel, as soon as I place a breakpoint on the source code, the text:

"ATTEMP SYNC"

appears, and nothing happens.
May be this can help to better understand the issue?

Tomorrow I will try updating the QT version as suggested by @SGaist

Hi @Giox79:

Hi @aha_1980 thank you for your help.

No, you misunderstood me :(

Look in your debugger log, line 7: dDebugger: C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x64)\cdb.exe: That clearly indicates a 64 bit debugger. As you said you are using a 32 bit compiler, I don't think that will work.

What do you have configured in QtCreator -> Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> Debuggers? Which debugger is assigned to your Kit (same option page, Tab Kit)?

I don't think you need to reinstall Qt.

[Giox79]

Hi @aha_1980 thank you for your help.
I installed the 32 bit version of the debugger.
I think everything is fine, but nothing works fine...

Once again, I'm able to compile the source code, but in the debugger log I have the following output

dATTEMPT SYNC

Hi @Giox79

yes, now everything looks as expected.

Please create a report at bugreports.qt.io describing the problem and provide the debuggerlog there. Maybe the developer can say more to your problem ... my possibilities end here :(

[aha_1980]

The bugreport is here: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-19989

[Giox79]

@aha_1980 Thank you I forgot to link le bug that I submitted.
Thank you again
Have a nice day
Gio
