+ \bold {How do I generate a core file in Qt Creator?}
+
+ To trigger the GDB command that generates a core file while debugging,
+ select \gui {Window > Views > Debugger Log}. In the \gui Command field,
+ type \c gcore and press \key Enter. The core file is created in the
+ current working directory. You can specify another location for the file,
+ including a relative or absolute path, as an argument of the command.
+
+ To generate a temporary core file, select \gui {Create Snapshot} in the
+ context menu in the \gui Snapshot view. The core file is deleted when you
+ stop debugging.
