Application always crashed

Hi everyone
I'm following c++ lessons on openclassrooms and I have a problem with the TP ZeroClassGenerator
Indeed, each time I execute the project, the application crashed when I clicked on the button "Generer"

so the program is crashing when the slot genererclass is execute
i need help please :/

@alex_tu28 Hi, friend. Welcome.

you should to debug it to see which line has crashed. maybe where is pointer value is NULL.

you can try dichotomy way to know where has crash in your code. the crash happened after clicked Generer Button,

so, you can debug some information in genererClass function...to find, crash area.

good luck.

void FenPrincipale::genererClass()
{
qDebug("Error: 01");
    if (nom->text().isEmpty())
    {
        QMessageBox::critical(this,"Erreur","Veuillez selectionner au moins un nom de classe");
    }
qDebug("Error: 02");
    QString code;

    if((grp3->isChecked())==true)
    {
        code+="/*\rAuteur : "+auteur->text()+"\rDate de création : "+date->text()+"\nRôle :\r"+commentaire->toPlainText()+"\r*/\n\n";
    }
qDebug("Error: 03");
    QString nomMaj = nom->text();
    nomMaj = nomMaj.toUpper();

    if(check1->isChecked())
    {
        code+="#ifndef HEADER_"+nomMaj+"\r#define HEADER_"+nomMaj+"\r\r";
    }

    code+="class "+nom->text();
qDebug("Error: 04");
    if(!(mere->text()==""))
    {
        code+=": public "+mere->text();
    }

    code+="\r{\r\tpublic:\r";

    if(check2->isChecked())
    {
        code+="\t\t"+nom->text()+"();";
    }


    if(check3->isChecked())
    {
        code+="\r\t\t~"+nom->text()+"();";
    }

    code+="\r\n\tprotected:\r\n\tprivate:\r\n};";

    if(check1->isChecked())
    {
        code+="#endif "+nomMaj+"_H";
    }
qDebug("Error: 05");
    FenCodeGenere *test = new FenCodeGenere(code,this);
    test->exec();
qDebug("Error: 06");

}

Ok thanks you @joeQ
I debug some information in genererClass function like you said and I got a "Error 1" in the output
So I put the first if condition in comment and when I execute i got this time a "Error 2"!!
And that's it until "Error 5"
But the end of the function with the object FenCodeGenere is working correctly
So after some test I found that the crash is happening when I use attributs in my if condition
Are my pointers badly declared?

@alex_tu28 said in Application always crashed:

Are my pointers badly declared?

Hi
Its hard to declare them wrongly
ClassType * varname;
But you might have forgotten to new them at some point ?
varname = new ClassType()
(you seem to new stuff so might be ok)
But i spotted one classic whoops, you should fix.
in fencodegenere.h , you declare
QTextEdit *zone;
but you new a local copy!
QTextEdit *zone = new QTextEdit; // that is NOT the one from .h but new one !

---

same with QTextEdit *quitter; you later make a QPushButton called quitter, not a QTextEdit. is that intended?
Make sure you are newing the ones from .h file and not make local copy.

What is attributs ?
can you show its declaration ?

[alex_tu28]

Thanks to you @mrjj I found the problem !!
I was always make local copy of my pointers !

So with the varname = new Classtype(), it's works

thank you for your help

[mrjj]

Hi
Super
Its a classic copy & paste error :)

You seems to be making a code generator ?

Note if the string+string+string becomes very complex, you might consider using something like

QString classTemplate =
R"(
class %1 %2 {

};
)";

void MainWindow::on_btGenerate_released()
{
   QString out = classTemplate.arg("classname").arg(":parent;");
   qDebug() << out;

Or for even more complex generation, something like
https://github.com/steveire/grantlee
really helps.

[alex_tu28]

It's a code generator indeed
Yes it could be better if I want to continue
Thank you for this precisions and help ;)

[mrjj]

@alex_tu28
Well for small generations, the + way works super. im just mentioned it
as im a big fan of code generators and if they live long and get many options, it became hard
to read in the due to the MANY + operations and the template being very fragmented to look at.
