Stopping Applications
Once the program starts running under the control of the debugger, it behaves and performs as usual. You can interrupt a running C++ program by selecting Debug > Interrupt. The program is automatically interrupted when a breakpoint is hit.
Once the program stops, Qt Creator:
- Retrieves data representing the call stack at the program's current position.
- Retrieves the contents of local variables.
- Examines expressions.
- Updates the Registers, Modules, and Disassembler views if you are debugging C++ based applications.
