QApplication crashes when aboutQt dialog is closed.
-
Hi there,
I'm showing the aboutQt dialog in my App using QApplication::aboutQt(). Unfortunately everytime when I close this dialog my app crashes.
I've connected it to QML and calling it via simple Signal-Slot-connection:
connect(this, SIGNAL(qtAboutScreen()), qApp, SLOT(aboutQt()));The class which is connected to QApplication inherits from QObject. Is there any Problem? Or do you know other, better solutions to display Qt information in qml?

When the program crashes you can take a look what the debugger tells you. From your code above we can't say anything about what's going wrong. So provide more code, the best would be a minimal, compilable example to show your problem.

There is no output except the "program has unexpectedly finished" message. The debugger gets stuck in Disassembler (QV4::ExecutionEngine::newString(QString const&)).
I'm doing nothing else than connecting a signal to the QApplication::aboutQt() slot. After closing the About Dialog the error appears.

QV4 looks like QML somwhere.
Reduce you app until it no longer crashes, the connect is for sure not the problem. -
Ok it was my fault. I've used a Q_INVOKABLE method which should return a QString but returned nothing.
Nevertheless I didn't used the QApplication::aboutQt() function to show the licensing information, because it opens a dialog with a completely different look and feel (QWidget).
Instead I created a Qml Popup and used QT_VERSION_STR to get the current qt version.
