[solved] QHash's insert() wrong use? --> VS-Debugger showed botch data due to missing Qt-Addon for VS

[ZapB]

Have you unit tested you SpecialObject class to ensure that it works properly for common operations (e.g. creation, destruction, assignment, copying, output)?

Can you post the code for SpecialObject please?

[ludde]

I think you will have to show us the SpecialObject class, if you cannot figure out what's wrong with it from the help you've been given so far.

[goetz]

Even better, create a complete test case, consisting of just the class, a main method and a method that triggers the crash.

[huckfinn]

Here you have compileable but not yet linkable codes. LinkError see bottom.

I now get a Linker-Error:
1>Linking...
1>DataItem.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall QString::~QString(void)" (_imp??1QString@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function __unwindfunclet$??0DataItem@@QAE@XZ$0

but I did not use any Libs or Dlls??! How is that be?

[ZapB]

Yes you are. You are using the QtCore dll. Also where is your main() function?

[giesbert]

You are missing the linker options in your pro file.
can you show it to us?
or what do you use for compiling?

For me, your code compiles fine.

[ludde]

Code looks OK to me. Except your DataController destructor should probably destroy the DataItems. But the way your DataItems are now, you should be able to pass them around by value, i.e. not bother with new/delete and the use of pointers.

[huckfinn]

@Gerolf: Yes the compilation is not my problem ;) My linker will not link my stuff ;)

@ZapB: Ok, I included the %QTDIR%qt4.5.0libQtCore4.lib to
Project --> Properties --> Linker --> General --> Add additional Libraries. But same linker error as above.

Qstring is in QtCore as well as far as I know?

The main? Is that wrong?

[huckfinn]

@ludde: Yes of course. I will destroy all DataItems pointers objects which are stored in my heap after all.
But therefore I have to store them first, which was my initial problem. Now, my smaller problem is to make that app run ;)

[ZapB]

I could not see a main() function in what you posted.

[ludde]

The main function is inside the MyDockWidget class - looks really weird to me... Does the main function not have to be global?

Regarding the link errors, which IDE are you using to build your project?

[huckfinn]

ah ok. without MyDockWidget:: in front?

just:
@int main(int p_argsc, char *p_argsv[] ) {
myDataController.addNew(2511, "Heim", 20481, 1272923);
myDataController.addNew(2512, "Work", 20482, 1272963);
// Breakpoint here
return 1;
}
@

[ludde]

Yeah, but then you cannot use myDataController, you have to create it first.
And remove the declaration of main() in the .h file.

[huckfinn]

[quote author="ludde" date="1309856111"]Regarding the link errors, which IDE are you using to build your project?[/quote]
Visual Studio 2008 Version 9

This project is in real a *.dll. I just extracted the required methods and classes to reproduce my QHash problem.

Hint: The original projects were generated by cmake, which should add corresponding libs correctly.

[giesbert]

huckfinn,

are you using MSDEV for building?
If yes, please post your vcproj file via pastebin ort similar shares. I'm sure, the problem is located there.

Thank you for your patience. Cheers Huck

[EDIT: code formatting, use @-tags, not 'quote', Volker]

[giesbert]

Hi,

I see two bugs in there:

you do not link the QtCore.lib in release mode

You link debug and release lib in debug mode.

Correct this and try again please.

[giesbert]

additionally, you would typically have some stuff in the Globals section:

@
<Globals>
<Global
Name="MocDir"
Value=".\\GeneratedFiles\\$(ConfigurationName)"
/>
<Global
Name="QtVersion"
Value="MSVS2008SP1"
/>
<Global
Name="RccDir"
Value=".\\GeneratedFiles"
/>
<Global
Name="UicDir"
Value=".\\GeneratedFiles"
/>
</Globals>
</VisualStudioProject>
@

EDIT: this is used by the Qt plugin for MSVS

[huckfinn]

They're empty..
@ <Globals>
</Globals>@

What was MSDEV? (previous post)
