Unsolved Valgring issue detected on QMenu on QT-5.7.0
-
Creating a simple program with only a QMenuBar on top, I managed to get an issue detected by Valgring GBD.
Here is my program
main.cpp:
#include "mainwindow.h" #include <QApplication> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication a(argc, argv); MainWindow w; w.show(); return a.exec(); } mainwindow.cpp:
#include "mainwindow.h" #include "ui_mainwindow.h" #include <QMenuBar> MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent), ui(new Ui::MainWindow) { ui->setupUi(this); QMenuBar *menuBar = new QMenuBar(this); QMenu *menu = new QMenu(menuBar); menu->setTitle("test"); menu->addAction("test1", this, SLOT(onTest1())); menu->addAction("test2", this, SLOT(onTest2())); menuBar->addMenu(menu); } MainWindow::~MainWindow() { delete ui; } void MainWindow::onTest1() { qInfo("TEST1"); } void MainWindow::onTest2() { qInfo("TEST2"); }
When I launch using "Valgrind Memory Analyzer with GBD", when clicking on the action "test1" or "test2", following error is detected :

}How could I proceed to fix that kind of issues?

Do a google search for "points to uninitialised byte(s) valgrind" and read couple of the first posts. Probably you don't have any problem, just suppress the messages. (Although I don't understand all of your code; there seems to be more than you have given.)
