qt5.5 Qt3D rendering & crash problems on Nvidia K1

jrecker

Built a open source version of Qt5.5 on a nvidia K1 (see below for steps, running apps on Linux for Tegra Ubuntu desktop)

Initially, all seems OK, and I can run qt3d examples. However, when I run the below toy app or a larger main app, I am seeing both random crashes && rendering issues. Note both below toy app and main app run fine on both Windows & Linux desktop with downloaded Qt5.5

Crashes

I've seen a few different crashes running qt5.5 QML apps with Qt3D components, which occur some random time into running the app and which appear memory related. The crashes typically occur in only a few different places. Unix free command doesn't suggest that the app is running out of memory.

memory corruption crash in malloc after alloc call in QHashData::allocateNode()
segfault on line 226 valueIt.value()->apply(ctx, uniform) in Qt3D::Render::RenderShader::updateUniforms() (Not exactly sure what is causing the crash here, presumably the address returned by value()?)
segfault on line 343 if (*const_cast<QUniformValue *>(refValue) in Qt3D::Render::RenderView::sort() (class this pointer is invalid - unmapped virtual memory, and thus so is refValue, stack is corrupt).

Rendering

The rendering issue seen in the below app is that the torus does not rotate in the center of the window. Instead it is offset to the right. Furthermore stretching the width of the window renders a torus clipped against a vertical boundary inside the window, stretching the window vertically clips against a horizontal boundary within the window. None of these behaviors are seen on qt5.5 on Linux & Windows.

Any suggestions as to any of the above issues?
Anyone know if any of these issues are addressed in 5.6?

thanks,

John

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Since you're already building Qt, I'd recommend trying with 5.6. If it's still not working properly, you should check the bug report system to see if it's something known. If not, please consider opening a new report providing that sample.

Followup to the above to note that the Qt3D rendering anomaly I described above is related to the scheme I use for selecting the height/width of the target rendering item in main.qml, specifically the lines:

    width: Math.min(parent.width, parent.height) - 100
    height: width
    anchors.centerIn: parent

Changing the magnitude of the border (eg "100") changes the center of rotation of the torus in the window, and a sufficiently large offset will cause the torus to be clipped un-equally about the center of rotation by the item borders. I believe this is incorrect behavior (at least my understanding is that the "anchors.centerIn: parent" line in the Item description should result in a item centered in the window and the view parameters should yield a torus centered in the item) , and behavior that changed between 5.5.0 & 5.5.1 (where I think the behavior was correct in 5.5.0)

Then I'd recommend checking the bug report system to see if it's something known. If not please consider opening a new report providing a minimal compilable example showing that behavior.
