    Description

      It's fairly common to have undefined symbol errors. It's annoyed me forever that compilers just list the object files where the symbols are used and not where the symbol is first used (they totally could do that) but anyway we can't fix that here.

      In the Issues pane of Qt Creator, if you get an undefined symbol error it just says something like:

      > symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
      > linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

      And you have to go to the Compile Output pane to see which actual symbols are undefined.

      Qt Creator should parse those errors in the same way it parses other compile errors.
