We plan to support debugging of Win32 Qt apps with EDC in our next product release, so you can expect that support to be commercial quality.  It should also work with EDC on Linux, though we don't currently have Linux hosted products so won't be doing any active testing of it.  I don't believe EDC currently works on Mac.  I think we've had a conversation on this list before about what it would take to do a Mac TCF agent, but I don't recall the details.  It's something I'd love to see, but since we have no plans for Mac hosted products I can't commit any resources to make it happen.  :(

FWIW, the reference TCF agent has initial Mac debug support (or at
least there's code there for that). Mac has ptrace and given the
reference agent's Linux ptrace support it's probably not that much
different.

At any rate, another reason we need to start working together on a
common TCF agent solution.
