Hi,
2 questions:
- Is cuda-gdb a direct replacement for gdb. Is it capable of debugging both x64 and CUDA kernel code?
Running cuda-gdb from command line looks suspicious. All commands other than cuda are undefined:

- How should cuda-gdb be configured in QtCreator?
In options > kits > debuggers I added a manual debugger I call System CUDA - GDB with path /usr/local/cuda-9.2/bin/cuda-gdb
Then in options > kits > kits for Desktop Qt 5.13.0 GCC 64bit I select System CUDA - GDB
My console application returns immediately before even executing main when trying to debug. Simply running the console application works.
