Qt5.6: DirectFB segmentation fault on Broadcom BCM7231B2
-
Hello!
I try use Qt5.6.1 on board with Broadcom BCM7231B2 CPU, I found description for Qt4.7 (https://wiki.qt.io/Broadcom97420). I modify mkspecs/devices/linux-mipsel-broadcom-97425-g++/qmake.conf and success build with follow configuration:./configure -release -force-debug-info -opensource -confirm-license -largefile -accessibility -no-qml-debug -system-zlib -no-journald -system-libpng -system-libjpeg -system-freetype -openssl -no-libproxy -no-glib -no-gtkstyle -gui -widgets -verbose -no-nis -no-cups -no-iconv -no-tslib -no-icu -no-fontconfig -strip -no-pch -no-ltcg -no-dbus -device mipsel-broadcom-97425-g++ -device-option B_REFSW_DEBUG=n -device-option BRCM_ROCKFORD_PATH=/refsw_release_unified_20121210/rockford/ -device-option BRCM_APPLIBS_PATH=/refsw_release_unified_20121210/AppLibs/ -device-option 'LINKER_FLAGS=-lpng -lz' -separate-debug-info -no-kms -no-gbm -directfb -linuxfb -no-mirclient -no-gstreamer -no-system-proxies -I/target/usr/include -I/target/usr/include/freetype2 -I/target/usr/include/directfb -L/target/usr/libUnfortunately example exit with segmentation fault:

Thank you and excuse my bad english. -
Hi,
You should run your application through the debugger to see where exactly it fails.

Can you run a DirectFB hello world successfully ?
-
There's been quite some changes in the backend.
Can you test with a more recent version of Qt to see if it's still present ?
-
If possible each in that order so you can determine whether it was fixed and at which point.
-
Then yes, try 5.6.2 or even the top of the 5.6 branch.

I add some debug output in sources and found what problem in QBackingStore::QBackingStore.
QBackingStore::QBackingStore(QWindow *window) : d_ptr(new QBackingStorePrivate(window)) { qDebug() << __func__ << ":" << __LINE__ << "d_ptr" << d_ptr /// line 135 << "window" << window; qDebug() << __func__ << ":" << __LINE__ /// line 137 << "platformIntegration" << QGuiApplicationPrivate::platformIntegration(); d_ptr->platformBackingStore = QGuiApplicationPrivate::platformIntegration()->createPlatformBackingStore(window); qDebug() << __func__ << ":" << __LINE__; }And console output;

-
Then maybe a silly thing but did you try to check whether these instructions were still working with Qt 4 (e.g. 4.8.7) ?
-
That's why I suggest to first try with 4.8.7. That way you ensure that it's still working with that one. Then you can compare the backend with 5.6 to see if you can spot something.
You should also take a look at the bug report system to see if there's anything related.
