Understanding the Qt Stack Trace with Volker Hilsheimer & Fabian Kosmale | #QtWS23

Abstract: Writing code means debugging code, and that means setting breakpoints and looking at stack traces. When using any framework, much of the stack trace involves code from that framework. In this talk, we will go through some of the Qt internals that are exposed through the stack trace, and try to understand what's going on before the execution hits our application code. About the speakers: Volker Hilsheimer has been working with Qt since the late 1990s, and is today the Chief Maintainer of the Qt project. Fabian Kosmale has been working for the Qt Company since 2019. He's the manager of the QML team, as well as the maintainer of moc. From time to time, he still manages to submit patches to KDE.
