Some error occuring on destructor

[jsulm]

@Ovidiu_GCO Why don't you simply use exec() instead of show()?

[Ovidiu_GCO]

@jsulm I changed it to .exec(). I don't know why I used .show() this time, all over my code I used .exec(). Thank you!

@SGaist I get it now, but I would use that window to insert a pilot's information into the database, so it wouldn't bother me.

I didn't manage to clear that error using any of the ideas above, but I still have to check the stack trace if you could tell me how.

Thank you!

[Ovidiu_GCO]

I don't know if this helps, but I got this in the Output Window:

@Ovidiu_GCO
I don't know what is actually wrong in your code. However the stack trace tells us, not surprisingly, that it has overwritten dynamically allocated memory incorrectly, or possibly is trying to free a block which is not allocated. I presume this could occur on memory allocated/freed via C++ new/delete, as well as C malloc/free etc., though not certain whether the C++ have their own memory allocation catchers. Don't know if you can use this to help track down your problem....

[Ovidiu_GCO]

@JonB You are right, something is wrong with memory allocation.

I just tried to comment some of my code and it seems that the problem is located inside this while loop:

while (qry.next()) {
			ui.driversTable->insertRow(rowCounter);
			ui.driversTable->setItem(rowCounter, 0, new QTableWidgetItem(qry.value(0).toString() + " " + qry.value(1).toString()));

			//we use "ui.driversTable->columnCount() - 1" because the last column is a checkbox
			for (int colCounter = 1; colCounter < ui.driversTable->columnCount() - 1 ; colCounter++) {
				ui.driversTable->setItem(rowCounter, colCounter, new QTableWidgetItem(qry.value(colCounter + 1).toString()));
			}

			rowCounter++;
		}

I suspect the setItem() lines, but I read in the documentation that the QTableWidget takes ownership of these items, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you all for your help and time!

[SGaist]

Unrelated to the problem at hand but why not use a QTableView / QSqlTableModel or QSqlQueryModel combo ?

[Ovidiu_GCO]

@SGaist Because, honestly, I do not know how to use Models/Views

[SGaist]

Well... You are already using Qt's Model/View since you are using a QTableWidget.

From the QSqlQueryModel documentation:

    QSqlQueryModel *model = new QSqlQueryModel;
    model->setQuery("SELECT name, salary FROM employee");
    model->setHeaderData(0, Qt::Horizontal, tr("Name"));
    model->setHeaderData(1, Qt::Horizontal, tr("Salary"));

    QTableView *view = new QTableView;
    view->setModel(model);
    view->show();

Adapt that to the query you are using and you should be good to go.

[Ovidiu_GCO]

@SGaist I will try it as a workaround, but I am still curious about that error.

Thank you!

[JonB]

@Ovidiu_GCO
I do not see anything obvious in the code you show or comment out which would lead to the error. Remember that when dealing with memory allocation issues, the route the code happens to follow can show up or hide a problem, so a change unrelated to a problem can cause it to occur or disappear.

When you hit the assertion failure while running in the debugger, it should stop. There is a window with a "stack trace" of all the function calls leading to the assert. You should show us that output, it may contain function names which give a clue. This is a vital window in debugging, you want to find it.

Also since the assert is on destruction of pickParticipants object as a whole, you might also show us the calling code, where you create & destroy the instance?

Are you quite sure that everything has been rebuilt from clean, as @mrjj suggested?

[Ovidiu_GCO]

@JonB I am trying to use the View/Model approach now so I cannot post the stack trace yet, but I will if this approach won't work.

Here is the call:

//moving to the next screen "PickParticipants"
		//hide the "Add a new tournament" UI
		this->hide();
		//set the new page "PickParticipants"
		pickParticipants pickParticipantsUI;
		pickParticipantsUI.setModal(true);
		//show the new page
		pickParticipantsUI.exec();

But there is no destruction on that UI...

And yes, I made a new project and copy-pasted the source code.

@SGaist I tried to use the code you posted, but it won't show the selection. There is no record in the table. Should I do something else?

Also, I think this approach won't work for me, because I need to put a checkbox on each table-row. Is this possible?

[JonB]

@Ovidiu_GCO

But there is no destruction on that UI...

Conceptually, you need to understand that when you declare a local/stack variable, like your pickParticipants pickParticipantsUI;, then just as there is an implicit construction even though you have no explicit new, so equally there is an implicit destruction when the local variable goes out of scope even though you have no explicit delete. I'm not sure whether you are aware of that.

The most important thing you have not shown is the stack trace when the assertion occurs.

Sorry for the "long-time-no-answer", I've been really busy with other school projects, but I managed to work a little bit on the file.

I still have some heap corruption in it, but now it is occurring some other place.

Thank you for your time!

[jsulm]

@Ovidiu_GCO said in Some error occuring on destructor:

qry.~QSqlQuery();

Why?!

"labelList.~QStringList();" - again - Why?
You should not call destructors like this (this is usually only done when using placement new). A destructor is called AUTOMATICALLY when the variable is destroyed.

[Ovidiu_GCO]

@jsulm I was calling those destructors hoping they will solve the problem, but there is not the case. They didn't help in any way.

Just commented those lines, the error is still there.

Thanks!

[jsulm]

@Ovidiu_GCO What is in this line:
"pickParticipants::updateTableStructure() Line 109"

[SPlatten]

This post is deleted!

[J.Hilk]

hi @Ovidiu_GCO ,
can you tell my way why your ui - instance is created on the stack and not the heap ? Seems like it was created automatically via QtCreator, if thats the case it is highly unusual behaviour.

[Ovidiu_GCO]

@J.Hilk I designed the UI using QtCreator, but I do not know how to answer your "why" question.

[J.Hilk]

@Ovidiu_GCO
ah alright, you made the ui form independet from your class and than added it afterwards, alright.

PS. thanks, fixed the obvious typo :P
