On Linux the default value is nullptr.
No, it is not.

Just because it does print 0 here it does not mean it's correctly initialized - it's by accident because your stack where
aaapoints to is currently filled with zeros. A good memory analyzer like e.g. valgrind will tell you that you're accessing uninitialized data.See https://godbolt.org/z/9vsrva15a - myPtr is not initialized anywhere before usage.

double * aaa;
std::cout << "aaa=" << aaa << std::endl;
aaa=0@JoeCFD said in App crashes due to QNetworkReply:
double * aaa;

aaa=0This is the best way to create an application with random crashes!
Never use a uninitialized pointer.This is a very basic rule in C/C++.

@KroMignon I know. I always initialize all pointers.

@Christian-Ehrlicher You are right. I tried it in middle of my app and uninitialized pointers are dangled. My memory is getting worse. I remember one of the differences between Linux and Windows is that variables on Linux have default values. I am wrong. But I do initialize all my pointers.

@JoeCFD
It's a C++ language thing, so not per-platform. What you may find, on any platform/compiler, is that there is a difference between what you find in uninitialized (stack) variables between debug versus release builds. Or that may apply to heap areas. It's all undefined :) -

AFAIK, on Linux/GCC pointers are never initialized per default.
On Windows/MSVC, they are set to 0 in debug build, but not in release.It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (Sherlock Holmes)

Wrong again - it's 0xCCCCCCCC or 0xCDCDCDCD

Yes, I was wrong... sorry, too fare away.
I mixed up pointer initialization and variable initialization!! -
As the screenshot shows, you have a segfault here. Probably from accessing any invalid pointer.
You commented some lines?! Does it still crash when you run it like this?For example; I've noticed that you
deleteLateryourapiData, but there is also adelete apiDatain d'tor (commented but still there).
