Error accesing private member of a class inside a shared library
-
Mi code using this class is very simple:
Shape shape; if (!shape.open("locations.shp")) { ...The exception occurs in the m_name = name statement of the open function. The same thing happens if, for example, I put qDebug() << m_name in that function or in another function of the class. But, as I said, I suspect that the error is not in the code since it worked correctly until recently and also, it is happening to me in other classes of the shared library.
-
Please provide some more code, with the complete call stack. Also do you use the same Qt version for your dll and your app?
-
@Christian-Ehrlicher , the code The code is the one I have set. Just add that the Shape constructor is the default constructor: Shape() = default;. I have put the call stack above.
But, as I said, I think the code has no problems (as you can see it is very simple). This code worked perfectly until recently. In addition, the same thing is happening to me with other classes within the shared library. It must be something of project configuration, compiler configuration (MSVC 2017 64-bit) or something similar. I have quite a bit of experience programming in C++ and Qt in particular, and it's the first time I've come across a problem as simple and as absurd as this.
-
By way of summary, and to clarify the problem:
In shared library:
class SHAPE_EXPORT Shape { private: QString m_name; ... } bool Shape::open(const QString &name) { m_name = name; ... }After invoking by:
Shape shape; if (!shape.open("locations.shp")) { ...The line m_name = name throws an exception:
Stopped in thread 0 by Exception at 0x7ffe3d83185d, code 0x0000005: read access violation at: 0x0, flags=0x0 (first chance).And the call stack:
1 std::_Load_relaxed_4 2 std::_Atomic_load_4 3 std::atomic_load_explicit 4 std::_Atomic_int::load 5 QAtomicOps<int>::loadRelaxed<int> 6 QBasicAtomicInteger<int>::loadRelaxed 7 QtPrivate::RefCount::deref 8 QString::operator= 9 Shape::openIf I change the library code to:
class SHAPE_EXPORT Shape { private: QString m_name; ... } bool Shape::open(const QString &name) { qDebug() << m_name; ... }The same exception occurs. The call stack is now:
1 QString::length 2 QDebug::operator<< 3 Shape::openAccess to int-type variables does not cause exceptions.
All the code (main program and shared library) are made qith Qt 5.14.2 with MSVC 2017 64bits. The .pro of the shared library is:
QT += core gui greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets CONFIG += qt windows no_batch win32:CONFIG += debug_and_release build_all CONFIG += shared CONFIG += c++17 CONFIG += install_headers TEMPLATE = lib INCLUDEPATH += .. win32 { QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -utf-8 DEFINES += WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN _USE_MATH_DEFINES NOMINMAX _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS } TARGET = $$qtLibraryTarget(Shape) include(shape.pri) INSTALL_HEADERS = $$HEADERS INSTALL_HEADERS -= $$PRIVATE_HEADERS INSTALL_PREFIX = $$[QT_INSTALL_HEADERS]/shape dlltarget.path = $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS] INSTALLS += dlltarget target.path = $$[QT_INSTALL_LIBS] target.CONFIG = no_dll INSTALLS += targetI think the code has no problems. Can be some configuration problem?

@JR-Leal said in Error accesing private member of a class inside a shared library:
In this code you have repeated several times now:
class SHAPE_EXPORT Shape { private: QString m_name; ... } bool open(const QString &name) { qDebug() << m_name; ... }The function
open()is not a member of Shape and therefore barred from accessing private member variables in that class. If this is actually your code it should fail to compile with a clear error message.You appear to have something that compiles and can be run with a backtrace involving
Shape::open().
You should share your actual code. -
@ChrisW67 I'm sorry. The code is:
bool Shape::open(const QString &name)My code is much more complex. I have write only a extract of it.
- I have fixed the occurrences of this member function in previous posts for greater code clarity
@JR-Leal said in Error accesing private member of a class inside a shared library:
My code is much more complex. I have write only a extract of it.
Yes, and by the look of the stack trace you're calling a method on an uninitialized object, looks like calling a dangling pointer.
I'm pretty sure this:Shape shape; if (!shape.open("locations.shp")) {Isn't how the call is made.
I'll repeat what others have asked: Provide more code, a complete example that (re)produces the problem. -

Although it seems absurd, such simple pieces of code generate that exception, if the Shape class is in a shared library. If I use it directly (without libraries) the code works well.
In addition, the code worked perfectly and I have not modified it. This same problem has happened to me in other classes of the shared library. That's why I think it's a configuration problem.Shape shape; if (!shape.open("locations.shp")) {This portion of code is 100% equal to my code.

Fine. The fact remains that the top of the call stack looks like a dereferencing an invalid address. Show a full stack trace of the crash (and I don't just mean one staring from
::open); I want to see the bottom of the call stack. And with file names and line numbers. -

and one with m_name = name:
It is clear to me that the error seems to be trying to access an uninitialized object, but this is not the case. In fact, I can access other properties of type int, bool, without problems.
And I repeat, at the risk of sounding heavy, that the same thing is happening to me with other classes within the shared library, when until not long ago they worked perfectly.

@JR-Leal said in Error accesing private member of a class inside a shared library:

Then what changed "not long ago"?
Have you thrown away the build directory to be absolutely sure you have a clean build without mismatched components?
Since your code is inside a shared library:
Did you change the binary interface of any of the the classes involved in your library?
Have you rebuilt the executable you are running against the freshly built library? -

Thank you, I'm interested only in the one generated by the assignment, however it is incomplete. I asked that the bottom of the stack should be visible. What I see here is that this is called in a
textChangedsignal handler and not much more. I'd rather be able to trace the whole call chain ...It is clear to me that the error seems to be trying to access an uninitialized object, but this is not the case. In fact, I can access other properties of type int, bool, without problems.
This means absolutely nothing. You can read primitive types from unowned memory all you want. If the value that they the memory had held was what you expected, you'd even read sensible values ...

Fine. Then what @ChrisW67 asked - something changed, so what did?

@ChrisW67 , @kshegunov The problem is that I have changed many things. The software has been constantly evolving. And now I've been notified of this error, and I've been told that it's been a long time since it's been a while. In addition to fixing bugs, improving functionality and adding new ones, I have changed from C++14 to C++17 in the compiler options (but I have not changed the compiler version, it is still MSVC 2017 64-bit). I do not remember changing any other options (and in subversion I have not found other modifications).
I'm going to try creating a new, extremely simple class in the shared library and see if it gives me the same problems.
As for the call stack, it is very long. The event is triggered inside a dialog box, so there is previously the creation part of it. Here you can see the following lines:

Do you mind showing what sits around (5-10 lines before and after) line 31 inMenuHerramientas.cpp, where you open the dialog. Also put a breakpoint in the dialog destructor to make sure. Additionally, please show the lambda (exactly as it appears in the code) that's connected to theclickedsignal, the one that callsQLineEdit::setText. -

-
Finally, it has fixed the problem, although I still do not know the cause. I deleted the build directories of both the application and the shared library, reconfigured the project, and build everything. As a result, it works again.
Many thanks to those who have tried to help me.
