    Hi,

    Any chances of having static objects from QObject based classes ?

    @SGaist In which part ? Core or GUI ?

    Core have:

    static CoreApp* CoreApp::CoreAppInstance();
    static void TerminateCoreApp();

    static CoreApp* instance;

    GUI haven't static methode and objects.

      That doesn't matter, you should not have static QObject based objects.

        Ha... so I gonna to find another way... Without static method and object...

        But why we shouldn't create static object based on QObject ?

        EDIT : My bad... it's not static QObject based object but static ptr over QObject based object... it's the same case ?

          I didn't talk about static methods at all.

          QApplication does some initialisation. Your static QObject based classed would be created before QApplication and thus would be in an "uninitialised" state.

          No, static pointers are not concerned.

              With the code you provided, there's nothing that can really be guessed except that you might have something wrong in your Database class.

              On an unrelated note, it seems you are not cleaning anything when destroying your CoreApp instance. At least from the code you posted.

                I can't post all the code... they are no other thing like static object based on QObject who can throw this error ?

                The database and thread aren't destroy by this way.

                    @jsulm CoreApp is the wrapper of all functionality in the DLL

                    Currently :

                    #include "coreapp_global.h"
                    
                    #include <QObject>
                    
                    class Database;
                    
                    class COREAPPSHARED_EXPORT CoreApp : public QObject
                    {
                    	Q_OBJECT
                    
                    	public:
                    		static CoreApp* CoreAppInstance();
                    		static void TerminateCoreApp();
                    
                    
                    	private:
                    		static CoreApp* instance;
                    		CoreApp();
                    		~CoreApp();
                    
                    		Database* database;
                    		QThread* databaseThread;
                    };

                        I think the probleme don't come from the code...
                        (the code are handmodified)

                          Since you modified your code, what do you mean by "doesn't work" ?

                            @SGaist I wish mean throw this message : QEventLoop: Cannot be used without QApplication

                            But this problem is no more. I have delete the project and create un other without dll...
                            It's not the best solution but it's gona work.
