Stopping 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.
