SEGFAULT on QBasicAtomicInt::ref() in a basic program

[Frank77]

Hello.

I'm new to Qt.

I tried to build a simple test program on an ARM9 processor : a window and a button to show a message box.
I launch the app in server mode (-qws parameter at command line).

When the application exits it crashs with segmentation fault.
When I try to push the button the message appears and it crashs right after or when I press the button and it closes.
It's the same if I close the app (with the cross on the right top). But it seems to crash in another program section.

This is the backtrace log. It seems to crash at the QBasicAtomicInt::ref() function.

Version of QT : 4.6.3 compiled for ARM9
config line : ./configure -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -prefix /usr/local/Qt -qt-mouse-tslib -little-endian -no-webkit -no-qt3support -no-cups -no-largefile -optimized-qmake -no-openssl -nomake tools -qt-sql-sqlite -no-3dnow -system-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libtiff -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg -no-opengl -gtkstyle -no-openvg -no-xshape -no-xsync -no-xrandr -qt-freetype -qt-gfx-linuxfb -qt-kbd-tty -qt-kbd-linuxinput -qt-mouse-tslib -qt-mouse-linuxinput

End of Backtrace

I tried to check the assembly code but I don't understand assembly.
I hope the informations provided are sufficient. I can post the assembly code next time if necessary.

I'm stuck since two days.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Have you tried building a debug version of your libraries? That should give you more insightful information than the assembler code.

[Frank77]

I didn't know I could build the shared libraries as debug.

I rebuild the Qt framework as debug then replace the compiled libraries in the board.
For debugging is the -g option in gcc correct ?

What should I see next in the stacktrace ? (excepting assembly code).

Thanks for your previous answer and spending some time.

[mlong]

Typically in your ./configure command, you add -debug to build debug libraries.

[Frank77]

Hello.
I finaly successed to install the debug libs. (I have not much space on built-in hardware).

Well, now I can't launch my app anymore. I have a new error.

[code]
ASSERT: "cr < NColorRoles" in file kernel/qpalette.cpp, line 783
Aborted
[/code]

I launched it with gdb too but now it seems to stop in /lib/libc.so.6.

This is information not provided in my first post.

Version of Glibc : 2.9.
Kernel : Linux 2.6.32.2.

Thanks.

[mlong]

Just checking, did you rebuild the app against the new debug version of your libraries?

[Frank77]

I don't remember so I've rebuild it (deleting the old file to be sure) but it's the same.
