How to find the code changes that fixed a particular Bug?
-
Hi,
We are currently using QT 4.7 for an application and using ListView. We are currently experiencing memory leak and found this is fixed as part of Bug "QTBUG-25784 : QML Listview has memory leaks when QList<QObject*> model is used".
The fix is available in release 4.8.2 but I do not want to upgrader my QT version now. How can I find the actual code fix for the bug so that I can source the same in version 4.7. Please let me know the steps to find the same.
Thanks & Regards,

You need to look at "All" activity on this Jira item. There is the link to gerrit change-id: "link":https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,26452.
-
Thanks a lot, It helped a lot.
-
Pleasure.
The interface could be more user-friendly, to be honest :/
-
Agreed, this might be a feature request ? :)
-
Probably, yes. Jira is rather flexible, it should facilitate such a change.
-
One more query, How do we map the Bug ID say QTBUG-25784 to the Review ID in Jira. I tried seaching in Jira by bug ID, but no search result found.
-
That is probably not really possible :( Maybe with some advanced search, I don't really know.
-
Okay, Then how did you find the right entry for the QTBUG-25784 in Jira? Scrolled accross all the Jira entries ?
-
Go to "Source" "tab":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-25784?page=com.atlassian.jirafisheyeplugin:fisheye-issuepanel - there is a Change-ID entry there. Copy the id and search for it on gerrit.
-
Sorry if I am appearing too dumb :)
In bugreports.qt-project.org for the given bug I could not find the change ID. I understand from your link https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,26452 that the change ID is 26452.
But I could neither find the source tab nor the ID 26452 in the Jira
Could you please let me know if I am missing something?
-
No. This is change-ID for given item: I1d6cd4dfc2530424535a7e00164563d9b4aaa513.
-
Okay, But I am unable to find this change ID in https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-25784
Neither do I find the source tab. Is Login to https://bugreports.qt-project.org/ required to view the change ID ?
-
Ha, bingo :) I didn't know about that, but yes, you need to be logged in. When I logged out, I could not see the change ID anymore.
This is bad. We're talking about GUI toolkit and our bug reporting tool has inconvenient UI... a bit ironic, isn't it? xD
-
Indeed... Another feature request ? :)
-
Done: "link":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTJIRA-227. Please watch and vote ;)
-
Thanks. I could get the change ID for that Bug, But for another bug QTBUG-21747 the source is empty. Is there another path to find the associated code changes?
