QML application crashes, How to debug it?
-
Hi,
I've written an application with qtQuick (integrated with QtWidgets via createWindowContainer) bug it crashes and I have no idea where it initiates the crash.
Is there any way to debug it to trace it?
-
Compile in debug mode, run with debugger attached (F5 in Qt Creator and other IDEs), the debugger will show you where the crash occurs - even if you don't specify any breakpoints. If that does not work, then run memory analysis with valgrind - it will also show you where the crash occurs and can provide better stack traces.
-
The debugger doesn't works so I'll try with valgrind.

Hm, that is not exactly helping all that much, apart from telling us the problem is probably not caused by your code.
-
I'm so disappointed and exhausted. It took my time for more than one week and no solution!
-
Maybe switch to Qt 5.4 (in RC stage right now), it contains QQuickWidget, which should be much easier to use. Qt 5.4 fixes a lot of bugs in general, so maybe the one in createWindowContainer is also fixed.
-
Good Idea. I'll try it ASAP and let you know the result. Thanks.

Hi again,
I recompiled the project with Qt5.4mingw and the bug (crash) is gone!!!!Moreover, I've replaced the QQuickView and createWindowContainer with QQuickWidget, but I am a little worried about the performance of QQuickWidget. Do you know about the performance issue of QQuickWidget? Also, recently I've heard that QML is rendered in new thread (from Qt5.3). Is this true for both QQuickView and QQuckWidget?
However when I run it with QQuickWidget, the mouse events are processed with lag bug the performance of animations seems to be improved.
Thanks in advance,

Some info is available here: "link":http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2014/11/20/qt-weekly-20-completing-the-offering-qopenglwindow-and-qrasterwindow/. Apart from that, there is the documentation.
QQuickWidget indeed does have it's limitations.
