My program start to crash because of MessageBox

[mrjj]

Hi
the call stack / trace it looks like this

@Engelard
and that is from it crashes ?

[Engelard]

@mrjj If i comment out my line

QMessageBox::information(nullptr, "ERROR", "trtrtr");

Debugger will be absolutely empty. When i use this static function of messBox, it give me such output.

Hey i just found that it work well if i put it in the constructor, so it crashes only when it in my other functions, strange.

UPDATE:

Here is info for everyone. Yesterday, i noticed that the app not just crashed, it crashed like.. twice, and all my app mostly about the use of "pressed" and "released" SLOTs of the buttons. I removed usage of release slot, and now app do just single crash. Here is how "release button" chain looks like:

void MainWindow::on_button_Q_released()
{
    //lightRestore(currentButton);
}

And here is that only function which it use:

void MainWindow::lightRestore(QPushButton *lamp)
{
    lamp->setStyleSheet("QPushButton{color: white;background-color: rgb(35,35,35);border-style: outset;border-width: 2px;border-radius: 15px;border-color:  black;font: bold 12px;}");
}

Hi, if I read the trace correctly, the user presses the button_G, that functions calls mainJourney() which issues the QMessageBox() call.
Could you show the code for mainJourney()?

@Engelard said in My program start to crash because of MessageBox:

currentButton

seems like currentButton is no longer a valid QPushButton-Pointer,

If you have a pointer member variable, you should make sure that you always set it to a nullptr when the pointed to object is destroyed/invalid.
And always check against that before accessing it:

void MainWindow::lightRestore(QPushButton *lamp)
{
    if(lamp)
        lamp->setStyleSheet(...);
}

No, that stuff is too big, it called from pressButton SLOT, above much simplier and compact example of release, it does the same crash.

@J.Hilk nice advice, tnx. But it valid(without that messageBox stuff everything works perfectly), i added if-check line. Nothing it changed(2nd crash exist).

UPDATE:

If i put messageBox AFTER assignment of that button - will be no crashes, but also it is not possible to hold the button(because this messageBox take over priority and it is now main waindow).

void MainWindow::on_button_Q_pressed()
{
    currentButton = mainJourney('Q');
    lightSet(currentButton);
    QMessageBox::information(nullptr, "ERROR", "trtrtr");
}

Oh, finally! With the help of @J-Hilk i realised what was wrong.

1. add if-cheks in "lights" functions.
2. assign currentButton to nullptr in the constructor. (i mistakenly thought that created pointers of the objects without assignment by default nullptr)

Now no crashes. Tnx @J-Hilk !
