    Description

      https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-preferences-kits.html#kits-tab
      About "Compiler":

      C or C++ compiler that you use to build the project. You can add compilers to the list if they are installed on the development PC, but were not detected automatically. For more information, see Add compilers.
      This setting is used to tell the code model which compiler is used. If your project type and build tool support it, Qt Creator also tells the build tool to use this compiler for building the project.
      

      People are still confused by such expression, and asking about "why it does not work for QMake". Maybe it is better to make it more explicit, that QMake does not work that way, i.e. QMake reads from mkspec and does not get overridden by those settings in Qt Creator.
