Enable Qt Creator to create core files when in run mode?

Question

I am running a GUI program in Qt and whenever I exit the program the error message in the Qt Creator terminal is

"The program has unexpectedly finished. /.../../.. exited with code 0".

However when I run this same executable through the Linux terminal and exit the program I get a segfault(core dumped) and consequently a core file. I was wondering if it is possible to enable the creation of core files by running the program from Qt Creator (not in debug mode, just build and run mode)?

Answer 1

Creating core files depends on the operating system rather than a single program or some IDE. Try running

ulimit -c unlimited

on the shell before running qtcreator. Then you can try launch your program. If you need more details take a look at the man page of bash . Good luck!
