Adding a virtual function causes strange result...
-
I have added a virtual function to a base class:
virtual QString strGetData();In the prototype of the base class:
QString clsXMLinterface::strGetData() { return ""; }I have a number of classes derived from this class, one of my classes, prototype:
class clsQtLineEdit : public QLineEdit, public clsXMLinterface { Q_OBJECTUnder the public modifier:
QString strGetData();The implementation:
QString clsQtLineEdit::strGetData() { return text(); }With this code as soon as I build and execute within Qt Creator the execution stops in qlist.h on line 115:
inline int size() const noexcept { return int(d->end - d->begin); } // q6sizetypeI am using, Qt Creator 4.15.0-beta2 (4.14.83), Based on Qt 5.15.2 (Clang 11.0 (Apple), 64 bit), Built on Mar 24 2021 04:43:31
The executable is using Qt 5.15.2, this behaviour doesn't happed if I remove the virtual keyword.
Can anyone help with why this is happening?
@SPlatten Stops with what error/exception?
Try to add override key-word to strGetData() in your subclass.
And please provide more context:- Which exact strGetData() is called when application stops?
- What are you doing with the returned value?

@jsulm , this is where its called:
QString clsScriptHelper::getValue(const QString& crstrID) { QString strValue; if ( crstrID.isEmpty() != true ) { clsXMLnode* pobjNode(clsXMLnode::spobjGetNodeById(crstrID)); if ( pobjNode != nullptr ) { clsXMLinterface* pobjXMLif(reinterpret_cast<clsXMLinterface*>(pobjNode)); if ( pobjXMLif != nullptr ) { strValue = pobjXMLif->strGetData(); } } } return strValue; }The prototype for the above:
Q_INVOKABLE QString getValue(const QString& crstrID);There is presently only one call to this, the only overridden instance is defined in the class clsQtLineEdit.
Execution stops as I stated on the line I specified in the original post, how can I see if an error or exception has occurred because it isn't obvious.
Kind Regards,

You should see it in debugger.
Please post the stack trace. -

@SPlatten said in Adding a virtual function causes strange result...:
reinterpret_cast
when using virtual inheritance !?!?!?
use dynamic_cast or if QObject classes object_cast
reinterpret_cast takes the raw pointer and considers it as being of the derived type. However, because of the virtual inheritance, a slight adjustment must be done to the pointer to point to the correct method dispatch table, and that's precisely what dynamic_cast will do.
just as wrong, but probably wouldn't have resulted in a crash would be the use of static_cast.

I didn't use the override keyword, should I?
Yes you should. To ask the compiler to check whether you're really overriding virtual method. Can help to detect bugs at compile time.
As I suggested: check what is happening in clsXMLnode::strGetAttribute(QString).
My guess is that the strGetData() method from base class is called which returns an empty string, so the code then fails later. -

I've replaced reinterpret_cast with dynamic_cast, same result.

For sure not.
btw: dynamic_cast was proposed to your exact same problem some weeks ago already: https://forum.qt.io/topic/132420/how-to-access/4

@jsulm, I have a breakpoint on the first line of the function getValue, execution doesn't get as far as the breakpoint before the issue occurs.
@SPlatten your stack trace actually points to your
clsXMLnodeclass.
clsXMLnode::strGetAttribute

@Christian-Ehrlicher That issue was resolved, this is new and dynamic_cast wasn't used to resolve the last issue, it was resolved with the suggested qobject_cast.

it was resolved with the suggested qobject_cast.
Since your class is derived from QObject you can also use qobject_cast. Please learn the basics.

@SPlatten
I'm not sure what part of your code you think is implicated. I see:1 QListData::size() const 2 QList<std::pair<QString, QString>>::length() constand that is failing (according to your "the execution stops in qlist.h on line 115") on trying to get the length of the
QList. InvalidQListat that point? That is what I see?
