Qt5.8 always crash on launch?

quiret

Hello devs, I try compiling latest Qt 5.8 branch with VS2017 (26403.7) but always crash if run app. Please help!

main.cpp

#include <QtCore\QString>

static QString _my_vague_string( "hello world" );

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
    // Sample demonstrates crashing statics.

    return 0;
}

Entire project (+ build scripts): https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ao_bx9imD7B8gb9jio3WPFZSdN2lSg

I tried filing bug report but no help :( https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-59721

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You should rather build the latest 5.9 which will be officially supporting VS2017.

As for no help, you got several replies on your report.

Ok. Will try again in few months. With help I meant fix, sorry if ambiguos. Issue frustrates me. Hoping for a stable VS2017 Qt5.9! :-)

The beta2 is out and available through the online installer.

Still not fixed on latest Qt5.9 using VS2017.2 ... Reported to Microsoft at:

https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/62363/c-static-pod-initialization-is-not-in-read-only-se.html

Qt5.9 has no full VS2017 support. New sample solution for Qt5.9:

Compile Qt 5.8 with VC2017 from source, it works fine.

@KeithS I wish it did, mate. I wish it did. Try running the code, too. It crashes.

Just tested on latest Qt5.9 using VS2017.3 and it crashes aswell. Here are new build scripts.

@quiret Did you follow the evolution of QTBUG-59721 ?

There's clearly a problem with the latest VS2017 (.3 version), so the current solution is to either use VS2015 or dynamic linking with VS2017.
