This functionality is still quite rough around the edges, but if you have problems with global symbol search in your projects, it might already be worth checking out.

#QT CREATOR 4.15 CODE#

With a Qt Creator built from our master branch, you can already enable clangd support in the C++ code model settings, which currently means that the results of “Find References” will be provided via clangd. We are currently experimenting with using clangd for this job.

Symbol search via the locator now considers type aliases defined via typedef or using.Īs you might know, we employ libclang for document-level features such as highlighting and completion, while the global view of a project is still provided by our trusty old built-in code model.

Similarly, the “Complete Switch Statement” quickfix no longer requires the cursor to be on the switch keyword.

Class-level quickfixes, such as the one mentioned above, have become more visible, as they can now be invoked with the cursor almost anywhere within the class definition, rather than just on the class name.

There now is a quickfix for generating a constructor, also contributed by Leander Schulten.

Thanks to Leander Schulten for this contribution.

Among the things that can be configured (both globally and per-project) are the default names of getters and setters, whether function bodies should be inline or not, how to deal with namespaces, and many more.

There is now a settings widget for fine-tuning the behavior of various quickfixes.

Similar to what was already done for parentheses and square brackets, we now also animate the angle brackets of template declarations and instantiations, as well as the matching “?” and “:” parts of ternary operators.This functionality is still quite rough around the edges, but if you have problems with global symbol search in your projects, it might. Raw string literals are now properly highlighted even when they contain quotes and newlines. With a Qt Creator built from our master branch, you can already enable clangd support in the C++ code model settings, which currently means that the results of 'Find References' will be provided via clangd.Now it is also possible to filter the results according to the access type. I would very-much like to know where I might find such an expert who can give me a complete 'horse's mouth' answer to my question.Since Qt Creator 4.14, the results of the “Find References to Symbol” action are colored differently depending on whether the respective reference is a read or a write access, or something else. I don't know any more than this, sorry, so if you feel you need confirmation from a Qt expert please wait. I believe that I actually have a logon account (is that the same one which is required to be active/ask questions on this forum?) so that is not a problem.

Okay, so it would appear that something fundamental has changed in the installation packages since I installed it last time that makes it difficult to fully complete an offline installation?įinally, I believe there have been recent changes at Qt Company which mean that downloads now require a logon account, which may make offline installing trickier. We recommend you use the Qt Online Installer for first time installations and the Qt Maintenance Tool for changes to a current install.

I think you need to go to and pick the Qt for your platform. Many said in Offline not an expert on this, just trying to help you. I just want to make it work and understand how to configure it in future so that I don't require assistance. I don't care which compiler I use, whether it's minGW or MSVC - either/or. Microsoft Visual Studio Community (containing MSVC) I have seen this question arise often, but none of the example seem to pertain to my exact scenario. Is there a clear, concise, simple and easily-followed user guide on how make these two work together? If I installed mingGW first, and then the offline installer of Qt Creator, then why am I still getting 'No valid kits found.'? I then clicked on 'Qt Creator' and the screen shot in the original post shows what I found, and the exact file that I downloaded. This is exactly where I went (as I noted in my original post.) If you want the MinGW version used to build Qt, then you have to use the Qt installer which will provide both Qt Creator and MinGW.Ī separate thread with another gentleman seemed to suggest that there was, and I could have sworn that the last time I tried, I stumbled across an offline installer that was exactly that, but cannot find it.Ĭan you please point me to this 'Qt installer which will provide both Qt Creator and MinGW'?Īs for the offline installers they are available here.

There's no 'Qt Creator offline installer with MinGW'.
