Description
Under c:\Qt\Tools\sdktool\share\qtcreator\QtProject\qtcreator\debuggers.xml I've got:
<!-- Written by sdktool , 2022-03-23T12:58:48. --> <qtcreator> <data> <variable>DebuggerItem.0</variable> <valuemap type="QVariantMap"> <valuelist type="QVariantList" key="Abis"> <value type="QString">x86-windows-msys-pe-64bit</value> </valuelist> <value type="bool" key="AutoDetected">true</value> <value type="QString" key="Binary">C:/Qt/Tools/mingw810_64/bin/gdb.exe</value> <value type="QString" key="DisplayName">GNU gdb 8.1 for MinGW 8.1.0 64-bit</value> <value type="int" key="EngineType">1</value> <value type="QString" key="Id">Debugger.qt.tools.win64_mingw810</value> </valuemap> </data>
which gets expanded at:
c:\Users\Cristian\AppData\Roaming\QtProject\qtcreator\debuggers.xml as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE QtCreatorDebuggers> <!-- Written by QtCreator 11.0.82, 2023-08-28T16:16:53. --> <qtcreator> <data> <variable>DebuggerItem.0</variable> <valuemap type="QVariantMap"> <valuelist type="QVariantList" key="Abis"> <value type="QString">x86-windows-msys-pe-64bit</value> </valuelist> <value type="bool" key="AutoDetected">true</value> <value type="QString" key="Binary">C:/Qt/Tools/mingw810_64/bin/gdb.exe</value> <value type="QString" key="DetectionSource"></value> <value type="QString" key="DisplayName">GNU gdb 8.1 for MinGW 8.1.0 64-bit</value> <value type="int" key="EngineType">1</value> <value type="QString" key="Id">Debugger.qt.tools.win64_mingw810</value> <value type="QDateTime" key="LastModified"></value> <value type="QString" key="Version">8.1.0</value> <value type="QString" key="WorkingDirectory"></value> </valuemap> </data>
But because <value type="QString" key="Version">8.1.0</value> is missing Qt Creator will run gdb.exe to query for the version.
This will be done at every Qt Creator run, which is unnecessary, and on Windows process creation is slow due to various reasons, and makes Qt Creator startup slower than it should be.
