Crash in QEventDispatcherUNIX with Qt 5.8 on OSX


  • Hi there,

    I have a peer-to-peer application written using Qt that's been out there for several years now. A couple of users have reported a crash that looks like this:

    Thread 10 Crashed:
    0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x00007fffbfdf2dd6 __pthread_kill + 10
    1 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x00007fffbfede787 pthread_kill + 90

    11 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x00007fffbfedb1fd thread_start + 13

    They're both on OSX and at least one of them is using a Qt 5.8 build. I ran a couple of google searches and found some information about the possibility that the operating system is running out of file descriptors. That seems possible since the app is very socket-heavy, and can sometimes create hundreds of TCP connections simultaneously. I asked one of these users to change the maximum file descriptor limit and see if it's still happening, but I figured I'd post about it here in the meantime in case someone knows anything about this. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Nir

    Hard to tell as some of the calls are optimized out. By the way what does the message say (you should get one on the standard output from the QMessageLogger::fatal call?
