QWidget::show () segmentation fault
Hi all,
I am using Qt3 to develop GUI program. In my program, I provide some toolbars and when user click on it, a window will pop up. But there is a strange behaviour happened. When I clicked on the toolbar, the program crashed and showed "segmentation fault" error. By using gdb, I found out that this happened whenever QWidget::show() executed.
The error happened when I use Qt3 library from my own compilation and running on Debian etch. When I use the Qt3 library provided by Debian Etch, the problem occurred occasionally and unpredictable. But when I use Qt3 library from my own compilation and running on Ubuntu Breezy, the error never occurred.
Has anyone experience problem like mine? Any hints will be appreciated.

Re: QWidget::show () segmentation fault
What else happens when the widget is shown?
You should post some code.
Make sure you don't modify that widget from other threads.
Re: QWidget::show () segmentation fault
When I was coding on two distros, I made sure that the versions and releases are the same. If there is a difference, even a slight difference, I usually recreate project and rebuild project. You also need to check the documentation of the two, there may be changes, and your implementation somehow causes the segmentation fault.
Re: QWidget::show () segmentation fault
Thanks very much for all your reply.
I intended to put an attachment of my source in tar.bz2, but due to my very very bad internet connection, I post them here. Sorry for the long codes.
The main problem is displaying dialog CreateHull.ui when I click on a toolbar. Below is the source code of it. I hope you can reproduce the error. Maybe later when my internet connection get better, I will attach the source in tar.bz2 format.
I compile and run the code in two different computer. One on Debian Etch using libqt3-mt 3.3.7-4 and gcc version 3.3.6, while the other on Ubuntu Breezy using my own compiled qt3 3.3.7 and gcc 4.0.2. The program run normal on Ubuntu, when I click the toolbar, the CreateHull dialog pop up. But when I run the same program on Debian, the program exited with segmentation error.

Re: QWidget::show () segmentation fault
Could we see the relevant code (not the designed form)? Or run it through a debugger and see backtrace where exactly does it crash.

Re: QWidget::show () segmentation fault
I have attached the source code. When I compile it using debug config, the backtrace output is below (truncated).
Code:

Actually, I also found this kind of error about a year ago when beginning to use Qt. It also happened in Debian Etch. When I compile it, a warning appeared.
Code:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libstdc++.so.6, needed by /usr/share/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so, may conflict with libstdc++.so.5
Re: QWidget::show () segmentation fault
I've just find out that on Ubuntu Feisty (7.10), the code also generated error. The Qt I used is libqt3-mt 3.3.8really3.3.7-0ubuntu5.2. Is this Linux or Qt issue? Anybody willing to try it?
