"WARN: QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver" since 5.10.1
-
Dear Qt community,
Since I updated from 5.10.0 to 5.10.1, I have a few of those warnings appearing when running my application.
It usually happens when calling "deleteLater()" on a null pointer, but given the stack trace (see below) I don't think this is something in my code, is it a known Qt regression?
I see in the release notes the following item which could be related: * [QTBUG-65712] Improved performance of QObject::deleteLater.
Or is the new implementation bringing up old bugs in my code?Stack trace: https://imgur.com/9mYCi4f

This is not the whole stack trace, there must be more, ultimately ending up in
main()or the thread main function. -

File a bug report. Here's the relevant code (dev branch):
void QSampleCache::loadingRelease() { QMutexLocker locker(&m_loadingMutex); m_loadingRefCount--; if (m_loadingRefCount == 0) { if (m_loadingThread.isRunning()) { m_networkAccessManager->deleteLater(); m_networkAccessManager = nullptr; m_loadingThread.exit(); } } }It probably is a bug in the multimedia module itself, I'd say
m_networkAccessManageris null - probably never initialized for a local file. But then, for whatever reason, them_networkAccessManageris deleted after loading has finished.
And to be frank it seems rather odd that someone would use a mutex to synchronize a simple counter ... not a semaphore, not an atomic int, but a mutex ...PS.
After some more thorough looking at it, I see why the mutex's there. Still I continue to think it's a bug in the multimedia module. You could see if any changes were made between the two mentioned Qt versions, as with theQSampleCache::networkAccessManager()creating the NAM on demand, it is possible that it was never created and then adeleteLaterwas invoked on it. -
Thanks, done.

Hello! Can you please explain how did you manage to get this call stack? Where did you put breakpoint? I had the same problem. I was trying to locate the exact place where the warning was issued, but with no success.
Do you have to install additional tools, or is it possible with Qt Creator and installed debugger only? -

Hi @AlexZ,
usually it's enough to debug a debug build with Creator. On a crash, the debugger will jump in and provide you with the stacktrace.
@aha_1980 Thank you very much for the response. But what if the program doesn't crash? I only create QSoundEffect instance in main(), initialize it with correct path, play it and that's all. The program doesn't crash, but outputs to the console "QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver" and exits with code 0. Is there any way to locate where this warning was issued?

Hi @AlexZ,
I've searched for the string you gave me and found it in
qcoreapplication.cpparound line 1146:static bool doNotify(QObject *receiver, QEvent *event) { if (receiver == 0) { // serious error qWarning("QCoreApplication::notify: Unexpected null receiver"); return true; } #ifndef QT_NO_DEBUG QCoreApplicationPrivate::checkReceiverThread(receiver); #endif return receiver->isWidgetType() ? false : QCoreApplicationPrivate::notify_helper(receiver, event); }If you have the Qt sources installed or build Qt yourself from sources, you can try to set a breakpoint there to get the stack.
Regards
