Copy Qt pdb files to the build folder when present - #14502
Merged
Conversation
Qt is distributed both with and without pdb files. When they are present, copy them next to the Qt dlls so symbols are available when debugging. Pass --pdb to windeployqt for the configurations built with debug information, and copy the matching pdb file in the AppFwk test applications and unit tests using a helper script that skips missing files.

Qt is distributed both with and without pdb files. When they are present, copy them next to the Qt dlls in the build folder, so symbols are available when debugging into Qt.
ApplicationExeCode: pass--pdbtowindeployqtfor the configurations built with debug information (Debug and RelWithDebInfo). The install step usesRUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES, which resolves dlls only, so the pdb files are not added to the installer.$<TARGET_PDB_FILE:...>is not available for imported targets, andcmake -E copy_if_differentfails on a missing source file, so the copy is done by a small helper script,Fwk/AppFwk/cmake/CopyPdbIfExists.cmake, that derives the pdb name from the dll and skips the copy if the file is not present.
