With newer versions of Qt Creator with MinGW (since at least Qt Creator 4.8), whenever I run the GNU debugger gdb it creates a zero-length temporary file in my source directory, of the form userstonykappdatalocaltemptmpxxxxxx for some value of xxxxxx. Every so often I have to clean them all out, which is a bit annoying.
It looks like it's trying to create \Users\TonyK\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpxxxxxx. This directory exists. Does anybody have any idea what's going on here?
