Crash on QApplication::exec()

Printable View

Hi there, I'm trying to port an application from CentOS to Mac OSX. I got the code to compile, but a segmentation fault occurs on QApplication::exec() when it is run, giving the error:

Code:

2011-04-04 14:26:41.907 vmfdebuger[1979:903] -[NSCFArray name]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x102d9d3f0
Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

This did not happen on CentOs. Any hints on what I might have missed?

Here is the main method. Everything works ok until it gets to app.exec().

Code:

#include <QApplication>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <QTime>
#include "qdebugstream.h"
#include "vmfdebuger.h"
#include "configmanager.h"
#include "ConsoleLog.h"
 
#include "loadsaveddata.h"
 
using namespace std;
 
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
 
    QString fileName;
 
    if (argc > 1)
    fileName = QString(argv[1]);
 
    VMFDebuger mainWin(0, argc, argv );
 
// redirect cerr and cout to console window
    QTextEdit* console = mainWin.getConsoleWindow();
    QDebugStream qout(std::cout, console);
    QDebugStream qerr(std::cerr, console);
 
    ConsoleLog::setConsoleWidget(mainWin.getConsoleWindow());
    ConsoleLog::dumpBufferToConsoleWindow();
 
    ConsoleLog::getInstance(mainWin.getConsoleWindow());
 
 
    //for file logging:
    ofstream logfile;
    logfile.open("C:/logfile.txt", ios::app);
    logfile << QTime::currentTime().toString().toAscii().data() <<  "Start Logging...... \n";
    logfile.flush();
 
    mainWin.show();
 
    return app.exec();
}

Here is the error report from the os:

Re: Crash on QApplication::exec()

What does vmfdebuger do? It seems to be the source of the crash.

Re: Crash on QApplication::exec()

vmfdebuger is the main application window. It's very long so I can't post it all here... but its constructor does connect a lot of signals and slots, and I read that exceptions in slots can cause this crash. This never happened before though, it ran fine on Linux with no exceptions in the slots. Are there any common pieces of code that need to be changed to run on the mac?

Re: Crash on QApplication::exec()

Are you throwing any exceptions yourself anywhere?

No, I am not.

Re: Crash on QApplication::exec()

What is in line #56 of your main.cpp?

Re: Crash on QApplication::exec()

Ah, the line numbers don't match up exactly as I removed some commented out lines from my post. Line 56 refers to the closing brace of the method, line 46 in the code I posted above.

Re: Crash on QApplication::exec()

In that case the crash occurs when destructors are called (most probably the destructor of your vmfdebuger class). Could you post a full debugger backtrace with the binary built in debug mode?

Re: Crash on QApplication::exec()

Here is the application output for debug mode. Apparently QT wasn't installed correctly, but I don't know how it even compiles if it can't find QtCore, etc? I have no idea where that world clock stuff is coming from. Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I do a proper back trace?

Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

Re: Crash on QApplication::exec()

It seems you have no debugging symbols for the libraries installed.

Re: Crash on QApplication::exec()

Hi sorry about the delay but I've finally been able to get back to this. I have the QtCore, QtGui, etc frameworks installed in /Library/Frameworks/. How to I get the symbols to load properly?

Re: Crash on QApplication::exec()

Do you have the debugging symbols for those libraries? Did you build Qt in both release and debug mode?

Re: Crash on QApplication::exec()

Yes, I built Qt as frameworks, and the debug symbols are contained in the frameworks. I can't seem to change where it is looking for them from for example QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui, where it is trying to find them, to /Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui where they are located.

Apparently not if the debugger can't find them.
