QApplication constructor cause segmentation fault

alexbur

Windows 10, mingw64 7.30, shipped with Qt 5.12.3 My application failed to start, on terminal it leaves no any messages, only in debugger it failed and arrow point s to QApplication call, after displaying: "segmentation fault"

Any advice how to move on? UnFortunately,I'm already postdeadliner, any help appreciated

Have you changed your Run environment lately?
Make sure your run environment (Projects->Run->Run Environment->Details) is set to Build Environment and not something like Clean Environment. I accidentally changed mine the other day and had seg faults on QApplication due to this.

https://wiki.qt.io/MinGW
The binary packages were compiled mingw.org gcc 4.4 toolchain that is unfortunately not officially provided anymore.
But 5.12.3 shipped with mingw7.30.
could someone instruct me how to recompile QT binaries with proper mingw?

alexbur

Thank you,fcarney for the hint. I tried it, it did not helped, unfortunately, It is something else.

What do you mean? The official 5.12.3 release is compiled with MinGW 7.3.0. The installer contains the same compiler for you.

Why do you want MinGW 4.4?

@alexbur said in QApplication constructor cause segmentation fault:

only in debugger it failed and arrow point s to QApplication call, after displaying: "segmentation fault"

Stack trace and a code snippet please.

alexbur

Thank you all for taking a look. Kchegunov,I'm linux guy,and can strace on linux, Please direct me on how I can strace on Windows? Please note, that on Fedora30 THE code works nicely and as expected, but Windows variant....
Also, may some one explain me how I can attach png to my post? Main cpp code is below,per your request:

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>
#include<QStringList>
const  QStringList paths={"C:/ADLL_s"};
int main(int argc, char *argv[]);
;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);//SEGFAULT Is Here

    printf("*****************************************\n**WHATEVER INC.**\n***************************************\n");

     app.setLibraryPaths(paths);
     app.setWindowIcon(QIcon(":../icons/whatever.ico"));
     app.setOrganizationName("WHATEVER INC.");
     app.setApplicationName("nice application");
    MainWindow mwnd;
        mwnd.show();

    return app.exec();
}

Kchegunov,I'm linux guy,and can strace on linux, Please direct me on how I can strace on Windows?

@kshegunov reqested a stack trace or backtrace, i.e. the callstack in the moment of crasing.

Just run your prog in debugger and post the stacktrace after the crash.

Your problem smells like incompatible Qt DLLs are somewhere in your PATH, woh many Qt versions have you installed?

Also, make really sure every part of your prog is rebuild and no old artifacts are linked in.

We need a StackTrace from the debugger, no strace output...

alexbur

@Christian-Ehrlicher

Christian, I published debugger output , please look through my posts, it starts with word Locals, Otherwise please provide me with step by step instructions on what is required
Thanks,
Alex.

@alexbur
I were tryied to change compiler from mingw64 to msvc2017_x64. If I did all correctly, I accomplished that by "Manage kits"then I have same result, same spot:at QApplication, segfault. I'm new bee to Qt, so could omitted some important step.Is the process of selecting compiler environment with Manage kits described somewhere in doc-s?

alexbur

Fellow Forumers,THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR GREAT SUPPORT. I 'm back on MOVING train and have now a chance to catch the deadline How stupid I were, could you imagine? I just did not pay attention to the first line of strace output:"--- Process 8176 loaded C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll at 00007ff9788d0000" It took two days to connect together obvious things:System32/ntdll and MIngw64. thank you all again, now I'm drinking Amstel and prepare presentation for the next week review........ Great team work! :). So I reinstalled Qt5.13, paying attention to choosing 64/32 modules, reconfigure project, recompile and run to grab opener...

@alexbur glad you solved it. So please mark this topic as SOLVED too. Thanks
