\i Gdb, and therefore Qt Creator's debugger works for optimized builds
on Linux and Mac OS X. However, optimization may lead to re-ordering of
instructions or sometimes even complete removal of some local variables.
In this case, the \gui{Locals and Watchers} view may show unexpected data.
\i Gdb, and therefore Qt Creator's debugger works for optimized
builds on Linux and Mac OS X. However, optimization may lead
to re-ordering of instructions or sometimes even complete
removal of some local variables. In this case, the
\gui{Locals and Watchers} view may show unexpected data.
\i The debug information provided by gcc does not include enough
information about the time when a variable is initialized.
Qt Creator therefore can not tell whether the contents of a
local variable contains "real data", or "initial noise". If a
QObject appears uninitialized, its value will be reported as
"out of scope". However, not all uninitialized objects can be
recognized as such.

Qt Creator therefore can not tell whether the contents of a local

Not all uninitialized objects can be recognized as such, though.
The \gui{Locals and Watchers View} also gives accesst to the most powerful
feature of the Qt Creator Debugger: The comprehensive display of data
of objects of some of Qt's basic classes.
To start using that feature, select \gui{Debug} and \gui{Use Custom
Display for Qt Objects}. The \gui{Locals and Watchers View} will
be re-organized to give a more high-level view of the objects
in question. So instead of displaying a pointer to some private
data structure in case of QObject, a list of children, signals
and slots will be shown.
The \gui{Locals and Watchers} view also provides access to the most
powerful feature of the debugger: comprehensive display of data belonging
to Qt's basic objects. To enable this feature, select \gui{Use Custom
Display for Qt Objects} from the \gui Debug menu.The
\gui{Locals and Watchers} view will be re-organized to provide a high-level
view of the objects. For example, in case of QObject, instead of displaying
a pointer to some private data structure, you will see a list of children,
signals and slots.
Similarily, instead of showing a bunch of pointers and ints,
a QHash or QMap will display its contents in an orderly fashion,
