\title Adding Debuggers
The \QC debugger plugin acts as an interface between the \QC core and
external native debuggers such as the GNU Symbolic Debugger (GDB),
the Microsoft Console Debugger (CDB), a QML/JavaScript debugger, and the
debugger of the low level virtual machine (LLVM) project, LLDB.
The debugger plugin automatically selects a suitable native debugger for
each \l{glossary-buildandrun-kit}{kit} from the ones found on your system.
To override this choice, select \gui Tools > \gui Options >
\gui {Build & Run} > \gui Kits.
To add debuggers:
\list 1
\li Select \gui Tools > \gui Options > \gui {Build & Run} >
\gui Debuggers > \gui Add.
\li In the \gui Name field, give a descriptive name for the debugger.
\li In the \gui Path field, specify the path to the debugger binary:
\list
\li For CDB (Windows only), specify the path to the Windows
Console Debugger executable.
\li For GDB, specify the path to the GDB executable. The
executable must be built with Python scripting support
enabled (except when debugging on Mac OS). The options you
have depend on the development and target platform:
\list
\li For debugging on embedded devices using a different ABI,
you must provide a special executable.
\li For debugging on Windows using MinGW, select a Windows
executable of GDB with Python scripting enabled. You can
download it from
\l{http://builds.qt-project.org/job/gdb-windows}.
\endlist
\li For LLDB (experimental), specify the path to the LLDB
executable.
\endlist
\li In the \gui ABIs field, specify the ABI versions to use on embedded
devices.
\endlist

To automatically detect a suitable debugger in the \gui Debugger field,
