[SOLVED]QFile triggers an exception

[saeedhardan]

Hi,
something really weird is happening with my code .
this line triggers this error :
error:
[quote]
Exception at 0x7601b727, code: 0xe06d7363: C++ exception, flags=0x1 (execution cannot be continued) (first chance) at f:\dd\vctools\crt\crtw32\heap\new.cpp:63
[/quote]

code :
[code]
QFile* newClear= new QFile("cmd.scr");
[/code]
i don't understand since in other source file i use the same line code but with different file name .

Files with an SCR extension might be treated differently than other files. I guess it depends where you are trying to put it and possibly how picky your virus scanner is.

Operator new can throw an exception for various reasons. Maybe you ran out of memory and was not able to allocate any more for example. If you don't catch the exception your program will shut down.

Maybe adding the try/catch block with the proper exception handler class for 'new' and see if there is anything useful reported back (such an error code or error text).

Hi , sorry for late reply .
I tried changing the file name it didn't work .
more precisely it works kindda weird sometimes the allocation is successful and sometimes not .
i wrote the try, catch as follows but it still crashed :
@
try{
QString t = QDir::currentPath();
Dir = QDir::cleanPath(t);
newClear= new QFile("cmd.in");
if (!newClear->open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text)) {
return -1;
}
}catch(std::exception& e){
std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
}catch(...){
std::cout << "damn" << std::endl;
}
@

also i don't think its a memory problem because according to the task manager i have like 3 g free .
also you might notice the :

@QString t = QDir::currentPath();
Dir = QDir::cleanPath(t);
@
instead of :
@
Dir = QDir::cleanPath(QDir::currentPath());
@
it is because sometimes it crashed at those lines .

if this helps , the exception opens the assembly file containing,starting with the function ntdll!RtlReportCriticalFailure:
also this is the trace output of the debugger :

Hi,

3GB of free RAM doesn't mean that it's accessible to your application. If you are running a 32bit application it can't use more than 2GB. Is your application using that much ?

Hi ,
thanks for the reply but in the end , i just dumped the library that im using which is libssh (c implementation) and all its malloc/free things ,
is there a way to delete this thread , because its not relevant anymore .

again thanks , and sorry for the bother .
