Accessing gdb console in Qt-Creator

Question

Is there an access to the gdb console from Qt-Creator? For examining frames, dumping to file, etc. Seems a trivial feature but I couldn't find a clear reference to weather it exists or not.

I am using Qt-Creator 2.0.1 under Ubuntu 9.10

Window > Views > Debugger Log. You can type commands in the left pane and send a line to gdb using ctrl+enter. More info here: http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-3.2/creator-debug-mode.html#directly-interacting-with-native-debuggers

For examining frames using the "normal" views, especially the Watchers part of the Locals and Watchers view should probably be the better approach.

There is no `Views` menu under `Debug` menu - Any ides? – Itamar Katz Jan 25 '11 at 09:57

Ok, I found it under Window->Views. – Itamar Katz Jan 25 '11 at 10:04
The command line is superior in case I want to discuss what I see somebody via e-mail. Sending screenshots of the UI gets inconvenient quickly. – user7610 Jan 09 '14 at 21:05
it's extremely inconvenient though if compare it against Xcode's lldb prompt – dev_null Aug 07 '16 at 18:40

Now moved to View > Views > Debugger log. – PBS Apr 03 '22 at 10:40

In the current Qt Creator 3.0.0 I found it after switching to the Debugger pane under Window→Views→Debugger Log. Pictures.

The results display in the machine readable format, which is a bit messy to look at, but still fine since I use this only infrequently.
