Problem using the QPSQL plugin on Windows x64 in Debug mode

[code_talker]

I installed PostgreSQL, then downloaded and installed libpq64. Afterwards, I downloaded the Qt 4.6.2 source code and compiled it successfully with Visual Studio 2008. After providing the path to the libs in libpq64, I compiled the QPSQL sucessfully too.

My sql plugin folder contains the following files:

V:\windows\x64\QT-4.6.2_VC9.0_Bin\plugins\sqldrivers>dir *.dll 
 Datenträger in Laufwerk V: ist Data
 Verzeichnis von V:\windows\x64\QT-4.6.2_VC9.0_Bin\plugins\sqldrivers
qsqlite4.dll     
qsqlited4.dll    
qsqlpsql4.dll    
qsqlpsqld4.dll

 Datenträger in Laufwerk V: ist Data

qsqlite4.dll     
qsqlited4.dll    
qsqlpsql4.dll    
qsqlpsqld4.dll

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I use a simple test program:

main(int  argc , char* argv[])
{
  QApplication app(argc,argv);  // load plugins
  std::cout << "QSqlDatabase::drivers() output: " << QSqlDatabase::drivers().join(QString("; ")).toLatin1().data() << "\n"; //
output of all loaded sql plugins
 
  return 0;
}

main(int  argc , char* argv[])
{
  QApplication app(argc,argv);  // load plugins
  std::cout << "QSqlDatabase::drivers() output: " << QSqlDatabase::drivers().join(QString("; ")).toLatin1().data() << "\n"; //
output of all loaded sql plugins

  return 0;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The output in Release Mode:
QSqlDatabase::drivers(): QSQLITE; QPSQL7; QPSQL

The output in Debug Mode:
QSqlDatabase::drivers(): QSQLITE

As you can see, the QPSQL plugin is not loaded in debug mode.


I debugged into the qt code, the problem is in
qlibrary_win.cpp Line 70:

pHnd = LoadLibrary((wchar_t*)QDir::toNativeSeparators(attempt).utf16());

pHnd = LoadLibrary((wchar_t*)QDir::toNativeSeparators(attempt).utf16());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

returns 0x00000000 for qsqlpsqld4.dll


My PATH variable contains

PATH=V:\windows\x64\QT-4.6.2_VC9.0_Bin\bin;V:\windows\x64\libpq64;"V:\toolkits\windows\x64\PostgreSQL\bin";[...]

What am I missing? How can I use the QPSQL plugin in debug mode?

Thank you for your help.

I tried to SET QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 to get more debug information

<-- it just can not load qsqlpsqld4.dll

In release mode, the output is as expected:

using the dependency walker, I get an error "MSVCR90D.DLL can not be found". Adding the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\amd64\Microsoft.VC90 .DebugCRT" that contains the dll to the path did not make the plugin load (but the dependency walker error message disapeared).
The next error message from dependency walker is "Error: Modules with different CPU types were found."
Browsing the module list, I found that MSVCR90.DLL for x86 (!) seems to be a required module for qsqlpsql4.dll.

Could this be the cause for the failed plugin loading? How can I fix this?

[code_talker]

Okay, I did some more experimentation:
adding

@SET PATH=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\amd64\Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT;%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\amd64\Microsoft.VC90.CRT;%PATH%

@SET PATH=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\amd64\Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT;%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\amd64\Microsoft.VC90.CRT;%PATH%

to the front of my path made sure that the correct x64 DLLs are found first. Now, Dependency Walker does not complain anymore. Running my test program raises an error message:

---------------------------

Of course, the QPSQL driver is not loaded...

R6034 hints at a missing manifest file. But my visual studio project settings are set to embed the manifest into my .exe.

I'm lost, I have no idea how to get this working

[code_talker]

Now it is getting strange:

I removed the QApplication app(argc,argv) line which should be responsible for loading the plugins, startet in release mode and the plugin was still loaded:

//QApplication app(argc,argv);
  MITK_INFO << "QSqlDatabase::drivers(): " << QSqlDatabase::drivers().join(QString("; ")).toLatin1().data() << "\n";

//QApplication app(argc,argv);
  MITK_INFO << "QSqlDatabase::drivers(): " << QSqlDatabase::drivers().join(QString("; ")).toLatin1().data() << "\n";

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Output:

QSqlDatabase::drivers(): QSQLITE; QPSQL7; QPSQL

QSqlDatabase::drivers(): QSQLITE; QPSQL7; QPSQL

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I'm confused, I thought that the plugins are loaded during instantiation of QApplication?

I have been experiencing the same problem on Windows XP 32 bit edition.

I just want to comment on QApplication loading the plug-ins. It shouldn't do that and as you verified it doesn't. Plugins are only to be loaded when necessary.

I am checking whether there is a bug report on this issue.
