Qt application unexpectedly crashes after a while due to access violation error at iosfwd
-
Hello , even if Qt is quite promising , i am still frustrated sometimes with the undefined behavior. Today out of the blue my Qt GUI app unexpectedly crashed after a while. The debugging triggers an access violation code and the info says that the problem occurs at iosfwd at function std::char_traits<char>::length. Really , i cant follow these whatever unexpected errors.... With all respect, i appeal to all Qt experts out there, could you please help me with this crap ?

@xenovas said in Qt application unexpectedly crashes after a while due to access violation error at iosfwd:
info says that the problem occurs at iosfwd at function std::char_traits<char>::length
Can you post the complete stack trace instead of just the topmost item?

hi @xenovas
access violation errors are hardly Qt's or a c++ fault.
It's usually a result of accessing an array / list with an index that is greater than the actual length. Or trying to access a class instance that is no longer valid.C++ is a rather low-level language so you actually have to manage lifetimes and access to Containers yourself.
The Qt-Libary actually does a lot of comfort stuff for you, that reduces such kind of errors, but in the end, it's up to you.
From the error code you posted I would say you try to access a char of string via index, and the string is not long enough.
You would have to post the actual stack trace here, for us to say more about it.

Hello @J-Hilk ,
I'm not a very experienced developer, nevertheless its clear what you are saying here but the program crashes when QThread invokes currentThread() where the inner functionality is not controlable by my code thus it is not my responsibility to manage the memory allocation of a char * or to manage the actual list index ...i suppose.... My code was working very well yesterday except some warnings that were manageable.

Hello @J-Hilk ,

My code was working very well yesterday except some warnings that were manageable.
even so, the debugger crashes you inside code, that's part of a library it's usually (99% of the time) part of your own source code that causes the crash.
Multi threading makes this a bit more difficult to see/debug on a first glance.I see, that you use QtCreator for your development, you can trace the crash back wards in there to the last line/call that is inside your own source files, that should make things a bit clearer.
In the screenshot, step back the levels in the bottom left window until you find in the
filecolumn where you find the first appearance of your own source code. From the stack trace I would say it's eitherserver.cpporworker.cpp -
@J-Hilk yeap you were right it was a null ptr dereference issue. I was trying to feed a std::map with a char * without checking if the allocated memory was returning a NULL, thus it was crashing my app.
Thank you for your help !
