\titleStopping Applications

Once the application starts running under the control of the debugger, it behaves and performs as usual.

To interrupt a running C++ application, select Debug > Interrupt. The debugger automatically interrupts the application when it hits a breakpoint.

Once the application stops, Qt Creator:

  • Retrieves data representing the call stack at the application'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.

You can Examine and change variables, set or remove breakpoints, and then continue running the application.
