Heap Corruption Detected While Building Qt 6 with Visual Studio 2019

Tom_S

I am attempting to build Qt 6 with Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10. I am encountering a heap corruption error during the build process. I tried both the 6.0.0 and 6.0 branches from code.qt.io with the same result. I am using the following command to build from a Developer Powershell for VS2019:

PS Z:\io.qt.code\qt\qt6-build> ..\qt5\configure.bat -no-feature-graphicseffect -prefix Z:\qt; if ($?) { cmake --build . --parallel 4 }; if ($?) { cmake --install . }

i got error " memory not enough" , then i delete parallel 4,

Can you test other binaries that are available at this point? Do they crash, too? Does the toolchain work in general (can you compile a minimal main.cpp program and execute it)?

Tom_S

@kkoehne Thank you kindly for the reply. The binaries work to some degree:

PS Z:\io.qt.code\qt\qt6-build> .\qtbase\bin\moc -v
moc 6.0.0
PS Z:\io.qt.code\qt\qt6-build> .\qtbase\bin\tracegen
Usage: tracegen <lttng|etw> <input file> <output file>
PS Z:\io.qt.code\qt\qt6-build> .\qtbase\bin\qmake -v
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 6.0.0 in Z:/io.qt.code/qt/qt6-build/qtbase/lib
PS Z:\io.qt.code\qt\qt6-build>

The toolchain works. I have used it for other builds, but for completeness, I performed the test you suggested:

PS Z:> type main.cpp; cl main.cpp; if ($?) { .\main }
#include <iostream>

int main(int, char **)
{
std::cout << "Yeppers." << std::endl;
return 0;

16.8.4 is the most recent one, yes. But since it does not work for a simple testprogram I would suggest to test it on another pc and to make sure you don't have another compiler in your env (so e.g. a wrong iostream header is fetched or similar). Don't see what Qt can do against this though.

kkoehne

Are you usign 32 bit ? Then this might be https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-89102 .

Use 64 bit to 32 bit cross-compiler as a workaround.

Tom_S

@Christian-Ehrlicher I’m not sure what issue you are flagging with the compiler. It seems to be working OK in general, including the test program.

Tom_S

@kkoehne It sure looks seems that you identified the proximate cause. While I’m not sure I feel good about an issue that breaks Qt based on machine width, I also didn’t expect the configure script to give me an unsupported configuration out-of-the-box by following the instructions. It actually didn’t occur to me that I might be getting 32-bit libraries by default. Neither the instructions nor the 'help' for the configure script made it clear to me how to change this, but I took a stab at it anyway, and guessed incorrectly. What should I be doing here for a 64-bit debug-enabled build?
