Blocking behavior Quick qt 5.2.1: random crash on Image elements when caching is false
-
We have an I3 machine on Linux with the following specs:
0:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller (rev 09)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Opengl 1.4
Regular PC - nothing spectacular.Whenever Image caching is false the bellow code crashes randomly when the image sources are changed (as bellow). I did not attach the images but you can use your ow - mines are 800x600 for Images and 80x60 those on the btns. This code does not crash on my laptop apparently on the same version of linux (opensuse) . The hardware difference is Nvidia grahics on laptop and CPU integrated graphic card on I3.
I know - some will tell that it does not Segfault. On my laptop with Nvidia graphic card does not either while on the integrated CPU graphics card segfaults after a couple of changes

i think that i have your same issue. my program start crashing randomly after i use cache: false... this is th backtrace of the crash:

Unfortunately the only solution we found is to switch back to QT 5.1.1 . We had so many random crashes on the Intel graphics card that it was unbearable even to look for them at some point.
We started to look for a solution and we fixed it in some points by changing the order the images are switched but THIS is NOT a FIX so we abandoned when the issue manifested somewhere else in the code (Image element with cache false).The quick fix was to change the order of source changing in OnMousePressed. Yes I know it is inexplicable - but it fixed it in some cases. I believe there is a race condition somewhere in the new renderer in QT 5.2.1 threads. I don't know how to pinpoint it however.
It almost NEVER happens on Nvidia or other cards - or we did not test it enough cause we only have them on some development machines, but on Intel CPU I3 integrated card the crash happens after 2-3 clicks in the app.
IMPORTANT Notice: This problem seems to menifest only on LInux platforms. We do develop the same thing on Windows and it doesn't crash there - but again we don't use the same Intel CPU integrated graphic cards. I will test it and come back. We do sincerely hope that this is fixed in the Qt 5.3 as 5.2.1 was a major showstopper for us. It has a large performance improvement on graphics rendering - but at this cost is not an advantage.

New info:
I need cache: false because sometimes I need to load a new picture in the Image element.If cache:true even if you change the content of the image file on disk the image is preloaded in the QT Quick cache and is not refreshed. The same happens if I use ImageProviders - the image is not reloaded with the new content.
If cache:false in QT 5.1.1 it does change the content of the image with the new picture in both cases (image loaded from disk or from image provider) while in QT 5.2.1 it randomly crashes the application (see in the code above).
Expected behavior: load the new content of the image and display it without segfaulting !

i get the same crash also in QT 5.1.1 this is my backtrace
