Use of Guard Malloc(Mac OS) for debugging in Qt Creator

Question

In Xcode, there is the possibility to use the so called guard malloc flag, to simplify debugging malloc and pointers stuff.

I wonder how can I use that flag on Qt Creator, when debugging.

In man pages they give the example of using it with gdb:

% cc -g -o gmalloctest gmalloctest.c
% gdb gmalloctest
Reading symbols for shared libraries .. done
(gdb) set env DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES /usr/lib/libgmalloc.dylib
(gdb) r

How do I tell Qt Creator to "set env" when debugging?

Answer 1

You can set environment variables in Creator's project Run Settings panel: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-2.4/creator-run-settings.html

Expand "Run Environment" to add/edit variables. They are set when you run/debug your project.
