    Partially fixed:

    QString filename = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(nullptr, tr("Select signature image"), QDir::homePath(), tr("Portable Network Graphics (*->png)"));
    

    Now I can open and close the file dialog, but if I select a file the segmentation fault happens here:

    this->_line->setText(filename);
    

    it seems it doesn't like "this". But I don't know why.
    Furthermore if I place a breakpoint there, it will stops, but the debugger shows no information about variables.

      Hi
      Its looks ok.
      however, every place you do
      SignatureEditor *widget = static_cast<SignatureEditor *>(editor);
      should make a check if is not null.
      before using it.

      the error/crash you get looks like being inside invalid object. ( not liking this ptr etc )

      so i would start check each cast.

      SignatureEditor *widget = static_cast<SignatureEditor *>(editor);
      if (widget) {
        widget->setText(value);
        widget->activate();
      } else
        qDebug() << "invalid cast for editor";

        They return a non-zero pointer (i.e. no debug message is shown). And the address is the same among the creation of the editor and the two casts.

          Hi
          ok, so seems not that.
          Could you try with a completely normal slot and not a lambda ?

            Ahah, you read my mind. I've already done that with the same results.
            Is really so difficult to do what I'm trying to achieve?

              hi
              Hmm. out of ideas then.
              No, it seems very ok to have a custom widget and open a file dialog.

              so if it crashes at
              this->_line->setText(filename);
              its either "this" or _line that is not ok and we need to find out why.
              i assume
              this->_line->setText("test");
              with no dialog also crashes ?

                Instead this works!
                BUT:

                this also works:

                connect(_btn, &QToolButton::clicked, [this]()
                        {
                            QString filename = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(nullptr, tr("Select signature image"), QDir::homePath(), tr("Portable Network Graphics (*.png)"));
                        });
                

                while this crashes:

                connect(_btn, &QToolButton::clicked, [this]()
                        {
                            QString filename = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(nullptr, tr("Select signature image"), QDir::homePath(), tr("Portable Network Graphics (*.png)"));

                  does not crash? so it does seems to be dialog related ?

                    Exactly, this doesn't crash and fill the QLineEdit with the string.

                      crash?

                      From the behaviour described it does seem you have a dangling pointer/reference. Also don't do that:

                      SignatureEditor *widget = static_cast<SignatureEditor *>(editor);
                      

                      without at least having a debug-time check on it:

                      Q_ASSERT(qobject_cast<SignatureEditor *>(editor));
                      SignatureEditor *widget = static_cast<SignatureEditor *>(editor);

                          Please break before the QLineEdit::setText and extract the backtrace for the thread.

                          We've already checked the pointers and are not null.

                          static_cast does not check if the types involved behind the pointer are compatible or convertible, so whether the pointer's null or not is meaningless if the typing is wrong.

                            Hi
                            Shit i read
                            SignatureEditor *widget = static_cast<SignatureEditor *>(editor);
                            as qobject_cast
                            so good catch, its most likely that.

                              SignatureEditor *widget = static_cast<SignatureEditor *>(editor);
                              as qobject_cast
                              so good catch, its most likely that.

                              I changed all static_cast to qobject_cast with no differences.

                                Two problems with the screenshot:

                                1. I can't see the whole stack (including the root), more important. Use right click and from the context menu extract it as text please.
                                2. You didn't specify a context object for the lambda, which I requested in my previous post.

                                  Sorry Sir, but we made a lot of trials. I wasn't sure about which code you want. By the way it's another syntax, very different! Why? Here the update screenshot and text:

                                    Hi
                                    Just to be 100% sure.
                                    You still have the checks at your casts, right ?

                                    SignatureEditor *widget = qobject_cast<SignatureEditor *>(editor); // Note qobject_cast !
                                    if (widget) {
                                      widget->setText(value);
                                      widget->activate();
                                    } else
                                      qDebug() << "invalid cast for editor";

                                      @kshegunov said in "Undebuggable" segmentation fault:

                                      Two problems with the screenshot:

                                      1. I can't see the whole stack (including the root), more important. Use right click and from the context menu extract it as text please.
                                      2. You didn't specify a context object for the lambda, which I requested in my previous post.

                                      Sorry Sir, but we made a lot of trials. I wasn't sure about which code you want. By the way it's another syntax, very different! Why? Here the update screenshot and text:

                                      Sorry Sir, but we made a lot of trials. I wasn't sure about which code you want. By the way it's another syntax, very different! Why?

                                      No need for the formality. This overload of the connect makes sure that this exists at the point of the lambda call, the other doesn't that's why I wanted it specifically. The connection will be broken if this gets destroyed between the connect call and the actual lambda call, which isn't true for the overload without the context object.

                                      Full backtrace attached as it's too big for the post. Here just the same info extracted as text:

                                      This is perfectly fine, I was interested exactly in this one, the other threads are not interesting at this point. The trace looks okay.

                                      Humor me once again, and substitute the:

                                      QDialog myDialog;
                                      // ...
                                      myDialog.exec()
                                      

                                      you have in your MainWindow::on_actionImpostazioni_triggered slot with:

                                      QDialog * myDialog = new QDialog();
                                      // ...
                                      myDialog->show();
                                      

                                      See if that makes a difference.

                                      Also, could you print out the addresses of the variables involved in the lambda (you can see them in the "Application output pane" when you run the app), something like this:

                                      connect(_btn, &QToolButton::clicked, this, [this] () -> void  {
                                          QString filename = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(nullptr, tr("Select signature image"), QDir::homePath(), tr("Portable Network Graphics (*.png)"));
                                          qDebug() << this << _btn << _line;
                                          _line->setText("test");
                                      });
                                      

                                      (You'd need to include <QDebug> for this)

                                      One more thing you could try is to add one guarded pointer to the _line pointer so you're 100% it's not destroyed in the mean time. It'd look like this:

                                      QPointer<QLineEdit> testPointer(_line);
                                      connect(_btn, &QToolButton::clicked, this, [this, testPointer] () -> void  {
                                          QString filename = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(nullptr, tr("Select signature image"), QDir::homePath(), tr("Portable Network Graphics (*.png)"));
                                          qDebug() << this << _btn << _line << testPointer;
                                          _line->setText("test");
                                      });

                                        The debugger says "no valid expression" for everything inside the lambda function, is it normal?

                                        Let's summarize:

                                        qDebug() << this << _btn << _line; leads to a SIGSEGV

                                        qDebug() << this << _btn << _line << testPointer; leads to SIGILL

                                        qDebug() << _btn << _line; leads also to a SIGSEGV

                                        but removing the file dialog call:

                                               QPointer<QLineEdit> testPointer(_line);
                                               connect(_btn, &QToolButton::clicked, this, [this, testPointer] () -> void  {
                                                   qDebug() << this << _btn << _line << testPointer;
                                                   _line->setText("test");
                                               });
                                        

                                        prints out:

                                          Not really. What compiler, debugger are you using and what are their versions? Just the other day I had stumbled on a bug in one specific version of MSVC's code generation where it didn't properly copy objects that are passed by value in the lambda capture.

                                          but removing the file dialog call:
                                          [snip]
                                          prints out:

                                          The addresses are good. So for some reason the file dialog invalidates the object(s). This can happen in principle, depending on event order, because the static function spins the event loop. Can you try something else then (same idea):

                                          connect(_btn, &QToolButton::clicked, this, [this] () -> void  {
                                              // Here use the non-static way of opening the dialog
                                              QFileDialog * myDialog = new QFileDialog();
                                              QObject::connect(myDialog, &QDialog::accepted, this, [this] () -> void  {
                                                  qDebug() << "If we see this message it's all good, otherwise `this` is deleted through `QDialog::exec`";
                                              });
                                              myDialog->show();
                                              //_line->setText("test");
                                          });
                                          

                                          Edit: Updated code, because I forgot to add the context parameter for connect
