Hi,

Qt creator may be explicitly querying the type of each variable or may be using some GDB extension that VisualGDB does not support.

We can investigate this during the v5.2 release cycle, however if you could obtain a full GDB command log from Qt creator (if it supports creating such logs or shows the executed GDB commands somewhere), we may be able to include a fix in the upcoming v5.1 release.

The breakpoint problem does not sound like any known issue, can you reproduce it on a “Hello, world” project and send it to us so that we can see what’s happening? You can also run the “info breakpoints” command in the GDB Session window to find out the address where the breakpoint was put and then use the disassembly window to understand whether this address is correct and actually contains the constructor code.
