QStyledItemDelegate crash

[folibis]

I have a simple list to show list of plugins in my program. To customize it i use delegate class derived from QStyledItemDelegate.
The code:

class PluginListDelegate : public QStyledItemDelegate
{
public:
PluginListDelegate();
void paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const;
QSize sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index ) const;
private:
QFont line1;
};


PluginListDelegate::PluginListDelegate() :
line1("Tahoma",10,QFont::Bold,false)
{

}
void PluginListDelegate::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const
{
QStyledItemDelegate::paint(painter,option,index);
...
...
}

QSize PluginListDelegate::sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const
{
int width = 0,height = 0;
QFontMetrics fm1(line1); // <-- crash here
height = fm1.height() + 20;
width = fm1.width(name) + 20;
return QSize(width,height);
}

Really don't understand what I do wrong.

What is the actual backtrace?

[folibis]

SIGSEGV
Segmentation fault

it stoped at line 573 in qvariant.h


static T metaType(const QVariant &v)
{
const int vid = qMetaTypeId<T>();
if (vid == v.userType())
return *reinterpret_cast<const T *>(v.constData()); // <-- stopped here
if (vid < int(QMetaType::User)) {
T t;
if (v.convert(vid, &t))
return t;
}
return T();
}

I use Windows XP, Qt 5.1.0

Hmm ... I found now that it crashed only when I debug the program with F5.
If i run the program with Ctrl-R it works normally.

Yes, all very well, but what is the actual backtrace? That will you how the program arrived there (which doesn't look related to your first location).

[folibis]

Where can I see this backtrace?

[ChrisW67]

When you run a debug build of your program in your debugger until it crashes. Then you can generally see the backtrace in your IDE. In Qt Creator the panel is called "Stack" and might contain something like this:

If you are using a different IDE or different debugger then the output might look different.

The top line is the point of failure (in my example a divide-by-zero), The next line down is where it was called from, and so on. Keep going until you find the first line of your code...

Thank you, ChrisW67
I will try it.
It is strange but now I cant get to crash. It happened periodically before but now it runs without error both in debug and run modes ))
