Winsock API problems in QTcpServer
-
Greetings,
I am working on an open-source Qt6 application
https://github.com/kitswas/VirtualGamePad-PCAt some point within the last month, the app suddenly started crashing abruptly on my PC.
I am running Windows 11. (OS Build 22631.3155 with Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22684.1000.0)
I also tried it on a friend's machine (Windows 11) where it still works perfectly.I have tried builds using both Qt 6.5 and 6.6.
The only hint I have is that when running the app under a debugger,
I see the following outputPage heap: pid 0x1698: page heap enabled with flags 0x3. AVRF: VGamepadPC.exe: pid 0x1698: flags 0x81643027: application verifier enabled ======================================= VERIFIER STOP 000000000000E107: pid 0x1698: A Winsock API was called before a successful WSAStartup() or after a balancing successful WSACleanup() call was made 0000000000000000 : Last sucessfull WSAStartup call by this caller. Use dps to dump the stack if not NULL 0000000000000000 : Last sucessfull WSACleanup call by this caller.

Use dps to dump the stack if not NULL 0000000000000000 : Last sucessfull WSACleanup call in this process. Use dps to dump the stack if not NULL ======================================= This verifier stop is continuable. After debugging it use `go' to continue. =======================================This occurs at line 76 in src/networking/server.cpp.
The call totcpServer->listen()fails on trying to start the server.The app has no manual Winsock API call and here's the stack trace:

Is this a problem in the Qt Framework itself? Can the maintainers take a look? -
For reference, there is an old (possibly related) issue on this forum.
I checked but it doesn't help.
