Trying to declare QVector in a QDialog header file

pcheimets

I want to declare a QVector in a header file so that I can use it throughout the functions in the class.
This seems so easy, and it works when I do it in a QMainWindow header, but it crashes ("Finishes unexpectedly") if I do the same thing in a QDialog header file. The code is below. If I uncomment the line: "//QVector<double> x,y;", the program compiles and crashes. I put the identical line in a QMainWindow header and it works exactly as I'd expect. The program runs, and the QVector is available to all of the functions in the MainWindow class. I assume I am missing something very basic.

This is on a MAC, QT5.5.5, Creator 3.5.1, Opensource

#ifndef GRAPH_H
#define GRAPH_H

#include <QDialog>
#include <QDesktopWidget>

namespace Ui {
class graph;
}

class graph : public QDialog
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
explicit graph(QWidget *parent = 0);
~graph();
//QVector<double> x,y;
void transfer_data(QVector<double> a, QVector<double> b);

private slots:
void on_makegraph1_clicked();

private:
Ui::graph *ui;

Hi and welcome
Does it crash if you just have in ?
You dont do anything to it ?
also did you try as
QVector<double> x
QVector<double> y;

jsulm

Hi and welcome!
When does it crash? When it is started? When you create an instance of graph? When you show the graph dialog?
Why do you include QDesktopWidget?

pcheimets

It crashes just after I compile the program and before anything opens. The QDialog is called by a mainwindow, and the mainwindow doesn't even open.

I put the QDesktopWidget in because I was hoping it would help; that call is in the MainWindow header, and the QVector declaration works there.

I have tried declaring them separately (QVector<double> x; ...
That crashes as well. ("The program has unexpectedly finished.").

Thanks

mrjj

should also work in the dialog :)

--The QDialog is called by a mainwindow
can i see how u call it?

pcheimets

This is the calling statements. I tried ...show() instead, and got the same result.

graphWindow.transfer_data(x,y);

graphWindow.exec();

@pcheimets said:
ok. and where do you declare it ?
is it same function ?
like

void Doti() {
graph graphWindow;
graphWindow.transfer_data(x,y);
graphWindow.exec();
}
graph graphWindow; should be in a class or function. Not in global scope.

what do transfer_data do ?
can you show inside ?

so in your sample, you send graphWindow 2 other lists ?
transfer_data(x,y); << - those are other list you send to the graphWindow?
