[QtSerialPort] Simple example crashes

kuzulis:
Hi,
- I'm trying to use USB-to-Comport devices with a FTDI IC (FT232R). Here's a picture of my device mger:

I can reproduce the same error without the lines of code you mentioned. I forgot about this: The error occurs in the head of the foreach loop within the static method "availablePorts()" of class QSerialPortInfo.
-
I can reproduce the same error with the release branch version of QtSerialPort.
[quote author="kuzulis" date="1371481349"]Hi M4chin3.
Here at a forum already there was the same problem, but I can't find a this thread. It is strange. Solutions of this problem, certainly still aren't present because the reason is unclear.
-
Whether your OS has serial ports? Give please a screenshot from Device Manager (with numbers and names of ports).
-
Can you reproduce a problem without this code?
@// Example use QSerialPort
QSerialPort serial;
serial.setPort(info);
if (serial.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite))
serial.close();
}@- Can you reproduce a problem with Release branch?

quickybr:
I also got strawberry perl, so i tried your way with Active Perl on the WinXp machine.
-> The QtSerialPort lib was compiled fine (same like with strawberry perl). I also could use it in Qt Creator but it didn't find any of my serial ports. I will check about this in detail tomorrow.Why WinXP machine and not the Win7 one iam actually working with?
-> i dont have admin on the win7 machine. I have to wait for the IT guys untill tomorrow.
:-/ -
bq. Removed the Perl that I was using (strawberry Perl)
Installed Active Perl (the last version)Hmm.. It is interesting, thx! May it is a cause of problem? Because I'm using Active perl and don't have a problem.
Can anyone try to check with this difference of Perl?

Hi everybody,
finally i got ActivePerl installed on the Win7 machine. Sadly it didn't change anything for me :-(. I compiled and installed QtSerialPort both ways: via console and via QtCreator and tested it.
The programm still crashes in the same behaviour as described before.
This is the crash track in detail:
main (QSerialPortInfo::availablePorts()) -> qserialportinfo_win.cpp;line 166 (QString s = devicePortName(deviceInfoSet, &deviceInfoData);) -> qserialportinfo_win.cpp;line 132 (QByteArray data(dataSize, 0);)The construction of the QByteArray fails somehow and this creates the Qt5Core.dll error. The question is why?

Hi,
okay i' one step further:
WinXP 32bit:
Status:
Couldn't find any serial ports but did not crash like Win7 Pro 64bit. QtSerialPort compiled with Strawberry Perl or ActivePerl didn't matter.Problem:
Administrator priviliges are needed otherwise "::SetupDiEnumDeviceInfo(deviceInfoSet, index++, &deviceInfoData)" returns true but the &deviceInfoData is emtpy respectivly the device name is empty (QString s = devicePortName(deviceInfoSet, &deviceInfoData))I'll try to get administrator priviliges tomorrow to try this on Windows7. At least i know how the serial ports are searched on windows systems.
Will this be changed? Otherwise users of my programm will also need administrator priviliges right? Wouldn't be that good.
-
bq. The question is why?
I don't know. For a solution I need to reproduce at itself crash - but I can't.
bq. Otherwise users of my programm will also need administrator priviliges right?
No. Privileges of the administrator aren't required. Most likely you have any other restrictions on your user account.

Hello everyone,
in the last weeks i had no time for further investigation about the error. Today i opened the example project again, ran it and it works! I Didn't change anything in the code and my priviliges on this machine are the same than i posted the last time.
I assume that in the time i didn't touch the project the IT department did a windows update via their updatemanagement that fixed my problem. I'll contact them for a list of updates they did in this time. I hope i get a list from them. Maybe i find a patch that could be related to my error.
I don't have any other explanation for this.

Similar issue.
Using QtSerialPort built from current 'stable' branch (50ab4d) causes simple example (from wiki) to crash in first QSerialPort::open() with segmentation fault (application terminates with exit code 255). Using QtSerialPort built from current 'release' branch (84df6e) works ok.
My setup is:
Win7 Pro x64
Qt 4.8.4 -
Bisecting between revisions I got following results:
- da0c6b works ok
- 43f7c6 seems works ok but adds messages to debug output: "virtual void QSerialPort::close(): device not open"
- 50ab4d causes crash (as described in previous post)
(Tests was performed by reusing full rebuild cycle: <module build dir> mingw32-make clean, <module build dir> mingw32-make uninstall, clean <module build dir>, clean <app project>, run qmake on <app project>, ...)

Hi.
Yes, I confirm it. Thx.
-
-
Yes, it fixed issue.
(But there are still warnings since 43f7c6. Seems like QSerialPort destructor tries to do some finalizing work on already closed port.) -

It is a not problem.
