Why does this QPixmap::fromImage() crash?

[jmsbc]

Hello, I have the following lines of code:

QImage tImage(50,50,QImage::Format_Indexed8);
tImage.fill(0);
QPixmap tempImagePix = QPixmap::fromImage(tImage);

QImage tImage(50,50,QImage::Format_Indexed8);
tImage.fill(0);
QPixmap tempImagePix = QPixmap::fromImage(tImage);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

When I run this it crashes saying:

Debug error!
Module: 4.5.0
File: global\qglobal.cpp
Line:1994

ASSERT failure in QVector<T>::at: "index out of range", file
...\include\qtcore\../../src/corelib/tools/qvector.h, line 327

What is causing the problem? Thank you.

I run this very well. maybe something else is wrong.

Investigate your stack trace when you get this assert failure. That will tell you which part of your code causes this problem.

Well the error is from the last line, fromImage.

When i look at the call stack the error is coming from:
fromImage()-> convertToFormat()-> convert_Indexed8_to_X32()-> QVector <unsigned int>::at(0)

inline const T &QVector<T>::at(int i) const
{ Q_ASSERT_X(i >= 0 && i < d->size, "QVector<T>::at", "index out of range");
return d->array[i]; }
template <typename T>

I also tried to change the size of my QImage, but same thing. Please help, thank you.

Aren't you by any chance calling that from an external thread?

The problem was that I didn't have a colormap, which was the array that it was trying to index.

Apparently when I try to use fromImage: "..the image is first converted to a 32-bit pixmap and then filled with the colors in the color table." (Qt documentation)

Which is kind of weird that I need to initialize a color table even though i'm using QImage::Format_Indexed8

[wysota]

What do you mean by "even though"? If you are using an indexed format then do you need a colour table. It won't get initialized on its own...
