Application crashes when built in debug mode. Runs fine under release and profile
-
When I run the program under debugger, I get an error dialog saying
"The CDB process terminated"
I use MSVC 32-bit compiler and debugger is auto detected under kits@saa_
I know nothing about debugging Qt apps under Windows. From what you write, I would probably start by trying to compile & debug a standalone, simple Qt program to verify that debugging with CDB works at all.Also probably put a
qDebug()statement as the very first line in your faulting application'smain()to see whether you get as far as executing the first line or whether the issue/crash comes before you even get going. -

@JonB thanks for the suggestions
I put a qDebug statement at the first line and the program crahses before the first line. I tested CDB on another application where it worked fine

Then I'm not sure debugging is going to tell you much. Since you are 32-bit I believe you compiled all Qt yourself, I would look at that, maybe try to resolve that warning. See if you can see any difference between the machine where it works and the one where it does not, e.g. does one of them have another version of Qt on it/from the past? Message sounds potentially as though it's not picking up the right thing from the right place, possibly. If you can in your faulting application, comment out any & all stuff to do with Qt5Ax temporarily and see if it works OK (or at least gets into
main()correctly) without, then you know that is somehow the issue. -

Thanks for the help. I will try and comment out the stuff with Qt5Ax and see what that leads to.
I did not compile QT myself, I was just using 32-bit compiler.@saa_ said in Application crashes when built in debug mode. Runs fine under release and profile:

? I don't use Qt under Windows, but I looked around and found references stating that Qt do not release Windows 32-bit built versions...? I refer, for example, to @jsulm's https://forum.qt.io/topic/95823/qt5-32-bit-msvc-2017/2
There are no official Qt MSVC 32bit builds. If you really need one you will need to build Qt by yourself.
Maybe you're using MSVC 2015 and that works, I don't know.

@JonB
I should clarify, my machine is 64-bit, I just installed QT IDE and selected MSVC 32-bit and 64-bit compiler. I have just been working with 32-bit compiler. I have now tried the 64-bit compiler crashes regardless of being in debug or profile mode. -
@saa_ What Qt version did you install? Qt Company does not provide official 32bit builds for recent Qt versions. So, I guess you have an old Qt version.

@jsulm
So I should install an earlier version if I want support for 32 bit. But do you think this relates to the problem 32-bit compiler profile and release mode works and using 64-bit compiler no build version works? -
@saa_ Actually I was wrong: using online installer you can still install 32bit Qt builds of Qt5. There are no 32bit builds for Qt6 anymore.
