1 # Use Qt Creator as IDE or GUI Debugger
2
3 [Qt Creator](https://www.qt.io/ide/)
4 ([Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_Creator)) is a cross-platform C++ IDE.
5
6 You can use Qt Creator as a daily IDE or just as a GDB frontend and that does
7 not require project configuration.

11 ## IDE
12
13 ### Workflow
14
15 1. `ctrl+k` Activate Locator, you can open file(not support sublime-like-search) or type `. ` go to symbol.
16 2. `ctrl+r` Build and Run, `F5` Debug.
17 3. `F4` switch between header file and cpp file.
18 4. `ctrl+shift+r` rename symbol under cursor.
19 5. Code completion is built-in. And you can add your snippets.
20
21 ### Setup as IDE
22
23 1. Install latest Qt Creator
24 2. under chromium/src `gn gen out/Default --ide=qtcreator`
25 3. qtcreator out/Default/qtcreator_project/all.creator
26
27 It takes 3 minutes to parsing C++ files in my workstation!!! And It will not
28 block you while parsing.

30 #### Code Style
31
32 1. Help - About Plugins enable Beautifier.
33 2. Tools - Options - Beautifier - Clang Format, select use predefined style:

34 chromium. You can also set a keyboard shortcut for it.
35 3. Tools - Options - Code Style import this xml file

82 #### Build & Run
83
84 In left panel, projects - setup the ninja command in build and clean step and
85 executable chrome path in run.
86
87 ## Debugger
88
89 **You can skip the project settings and use QtCreator as a single file
90 standalone GDB frontend. **
91
92 1. Tools - Options - Build & Run - Debuggers, make sure GDB is set.
93 2. Tools - Options - Kits, change the Desktop kit to GDB(LLDB doesnot work in
94 Linux).
95 3. Open file you want to debug.
96 4. Debug - Start Debugging - Attach to running Application, you may need to
97 open chrome's task manager to find the process number.
98
99 ### Tips, tricks, and troubleshooting
100
101 #### Make GDB start fast
102
103 Add `gdb_index = true` to `gn args`.
104
105 #### Debugger shows start then finish
106
107 ```
108 $ echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
109 ```
110
111 Ensure yama allow you to attach another process.
112
113 #### Debugger do not stop in break point
114
115 Ensure you are using GDB not LLDB in Linux.
