Using wrapped Qt segfaults on Linux with only a basic example

Jebbs

I posted this exact thing on Stack Overflow, but then I thought I would have better luck here.

I've been experimenting with wrapping some Qt classes with a C interface to use with my latest D project. For what ever reason, this code works fine on Windows but segfaults on Linux and I haven't been able to track down the reason behind it. I haven't tried building on OSX yet.

I'm using Qt 5.3, and running Linux Mint.

The code is kind of spread out over a few different files so I thought it might be easier if I put all the related code into some pastebins.

"QApplication wrapper stuff":http://pastebin.com/2bzm27e8

"QMainQWindow wrapper stuff":http://pastebin.com/hsiM6Rxy

These are very thin wrappers though, so even if you don't look at them it should be easy enough to understand my test program.

@#include <Application.h>
#include <MainWindow.h>

int main( int argc, char* argv[])
{

Qt_Application* app = Qt_Application_create(argc, argv);

Qt_MainWindow* window = Qt_MainWindow_create();

Qt_MainWindow_show(window);//<- Segfault happens here

Qt_Application_exec&#40;app&#41;;

Qt_Application_destroy(app);

Qt_MainWindow_destroy(window);

return 0;

}@

Due to some printf tests, I know the segfault happens on when I try to call Qt_MainWindow_show, and likewise I know the window object exists when I pass it so that isn't the cause. Also, if I comment Qt_MainWindow_show out, Qt_Application_exec will get called no problem so as far as I know the wrapped objects are being created correctly.

When I run gdb, it says:

bq. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff789a92a in strlen () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

getting the backtrace at the point of the segfault shows this:

bq. #0 0x00007ffff789a92a in strlen () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

So it looks like some string somewhere is NULL and strlen cries? I couldn't find any reason that QMainWindow.show() might segfault. Any pointers into where I should look or what I should do next would be an excellent help.
