\section1 Built-in Debugger Is Slow During Startup and Runtime
- The \QC for Windows installation packages install GDB from MinGW.
- Unfortunately, GDB is quite slow on Windows. \QC does not cause
- this, as it interacts with GDB and adds custom dumpers for Qt types.
-
- \note You can use \QC with MSVC on Windows for debugging.
+ The part of the slowness that is related to the loading of
+ debug information is hard to avoid. Another part stems from
+ maintaining breakpoints inside the debugger (under some circumstances
+ all breakpoints need to be inserted and removed again for each step)
+ and the evaluation of expressions after each step. We recommend that
+ you minimize the number of breakpoints and watched expressions.
