QProgressDialog::setValue produces random stack overflows - c++

I am working on developing a big project that cannot share the source code. In that project, we are getting some poorly reproducible stack overflow errors in windows (not in ubuntu) and the stack trace of the debugger shows that the progress dialog set to window modal, is calling QProgressDialog::setValue(int) recursively.
I have created this small example of a QProgressDialog to try to reproduce the error. Although I have not gotten into a stack overflow error using this example (neither in Windows or Ubuntu), when I look into QProgressDailog::setValue by adding a breakpoint in the debugger, I see that it also calls itself recursively (in both OS), just not enough times to produce the stack overflow. The most impressive thing is that sometimes it does call the QPrigressDialog::setValue only once.

Any ideas on how to fix this recursion? Should I move it to a bug report? It happens especially if I manually step through the program.
I have tested this in Windows 10, Visual Studio 16.5.2, MSVC 19.25.28612.0 and Qt 5.14.2 as well as Qt 5.14.1, Qt 5.9.5. Also, I have tried in Ubuntu 18.04, g++ 7.5.0 and Qt 5.9.5.

From what I can gather from your sample code:
There is one worker thread posting events to the main event queues every 200ms. (As the signal emitted from the worker thread is on a queued connection, this will post an event in the receiver's thread event loop)
The QProgressDialog source code shows clearly that it calls QCoreApplication::processEvents in its setValue methods when configured in modal mode.
So, to induce a stack overflow, one thread should have been capable of posting enough events in the dialog's thread event loop before the dialog begins to process them.
Once it will begin to process this events chain, it will recurse on itself and may cause a stack overflow. If you are stepping in the main thread with the debugger, it may explains why the other thread is able to accumulate so much events in the main even loop.
I do not know it this is something that may qualify as a bug for the Qt project, but you could still ask on their IRC channel or open an issue and see where it gets.
Nevertheless, a possible ad-hoc solution would be to avoid bursting signals from the worker thread to avoid falling in this pitfall (like triggering a status update every second instead on short unoticeable intervals for the end user).

Crash when NXOpen objects are deleted in Unreal Engine

Hello stackoverflow community,
first time asking.
I'm working on a prototype for modeling CAD data in VR with the Unreal Engine.
I have managed to get my Unreal project to build with my CAD System Siemens NX, or rather the API NXOpen.
Overall the API works and I can call NXOpen functions and can create basic objects
But some operations cause crashes and my guess is that it has something to do with memory management.
I cant wrap my head around what exactly is happening.
For example I have code that creates a NX block feature that works fine.
Afterwards I'll need a body object that is stored inside the block feature. The access also works, but when 'bodies' runs out of scope, it crashes.
Similar crashes happen when accessing all kinds of data within NX features. This dummy code triggers the crash quite often:
// 'block' gets created here
if (block) {
std::vector<NXOpen::Body*> bodies = block->GetBodies();
if (bodies.size() > 0) {
NXOpen::Body* body = bodies.front();
}
} // <-- this line crashes
Exception thrown: read access violation.
**flag** was 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. occurred

If I understand the callstack correctly the error occurs when the object is deleted. But why can that be the problem?
Could it be that both Unreal and the NX third party lib try to manage the memory?
Has anyone an idea what could cause these crashed and even an idea how to solve it?
I'm happy to give more information if necessary.
Greetings,
LaRanaRica
I found that using the debug runtime library often can cause memory errors when using NXOpen.
You can change this with the linker setting /MD (indstead of /MDd).
I know this is late, but I have a much better solution than to build in Release mode instead of Debug mode, because I've had this issue many times before and solved it using the same simple solution.
I don't know exactly why this occurs with NX Open C++, but it only happens when using std::vector (which some NX Open C++ APIs return) and Debug mode, together. You can fix it by adding this line to the top of your C++ source file, before all the #includes:
#define _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL 0

Process hangs on WinHttpReceiveResponse()

My process hangs with the below callstack at WinHttpRecieveResponse(). This behaviour is inconsistent sometime it works for the same data and same use case. But most of the time it hangs likes below.
I have checked using the WireShark that response is received on machine. I can find the response in Wireshark. But the WinHttpRecieveResponse() is not able to receive that data.
Please help me to find the issue.

Found the solution for this problem.
Actually before this call there was bufferoverflow which was corrupting my heap.
Fixing the bufferoverflow solved my problem.

Crash in QString toUtf8()

I have a slot:
void Foo::func(QString str1, const QString& str2, int width, int height)
{
std::unique_lock<std::mutex> _lock(m_mutex);
#ifdef _DEBUG
MEMORYSTATUSEX statex;
statex.dwLength = sizeof (statex);
if (GlobalMemoryStatusEx(&statex)) {
qDebug() << QString("There are %1 free MB of physical memory.\n").arg(statex.ullAvailPhys / 1024 / 1024);
}
#endif
BaseClass::someFunc(
str1.toStdString(),
str2.toUtf8().constData(),
width,
height
);
}
It seems to be correct and it works. But if program works for a long time (night for example) it crashes in this function at line
str2.toUtf8().constData()
I first thought that this is a thread-based error, but my lock didn't work. All the local variables and class members are ok. The crash error is:
First-chance exception at 0x76E45B68 foo.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::bad_alloc at memory location 0x00EFC6EC
But from the code above last MEMORYSTATUSEX show that available memory is
There are 2314 free MB of physical memory
I also thought that str2 is too big, but it works fine with length of 49152, 168441 etc. What is the problem? Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance!
For those who, like me, just stumbled on this thread because they wanted to convert a QString into a char * with a call to str.toUtf8().constData() or str.toUtf8().data(), but that was leading a program to crash or to throw an exception like EXC_BAD_ACCESS on XCode, here's the answer:
in a call like foo = str.toUtf8().constData();, the str.toUtf8() part creates a temp object.
a call to tmp.data() or tmp.constData() return a pointer to an internal buffer managed by the object itself, and whose lifetime is tied to the temp object's lifetime. source.
once that statement is executed, the lifetime of the object whose address was assigned to foo, once returned by data() or constData(), will end.
therefore, as expected, after that statement foo will hold an address to an object whose lifetime ended, thus causing crashes and exceptions.

QT application crashes on startup (c++ windows)

I have the source code f a qt application which was written by somebody else who is not with my company anymore.
I managed to compile the code using qt 4.8.4. I found that original version used qt 4.7.3.
When I run application it crashes just after start-up inside one of the qt DLL.
I am developing on windows7 x64, but target is x86. I am using VS 2012 and compiled qt using VS 2012.
Do I need to set anything environment variable for QT to work properly?
Do I need to install any other software (such as opengl or any other library that qt relays on them)?

I had the same problem with my own QT-Application using Qt 4.8.3 with OpenGL.
I found out that the crash is due to the using OpenGL paint engine. The engine type should automatically be set to OnegGL2 if the OpenGL driver reports that it supports OpenGL 2.0. This seems to be failing in my case.
To fix the problem I set the OpenGL preferred paint engine by adding the following code before constructing my QT-Application:
QGL::setPreferredPaintEngine(QPaintEngine::OpenGL);
Okay... here is your laundry list:
Make sure that you are building with the MSVS compiler, and compiling for win32.
If your application is surrounded by dll's built for mingw, or win64, you may have just entered "DLL he**". Make sure that you don't have any dll's sitting right next to your application's exe, or in the working directory (probably your folder that your source is in).
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682586(v=vs.85).aspx#search_order_for_desktop_applications
Now go and check your system and user environment variables. Make sure that there isn't a listing for some Qt folder that you aren't building for.
Also go and make sure that Qt Creator or Visual Studio is pointing that the version of Qt you are building for.
Do a build clean on your project, and rebuild the whole thing. Be sure to read the "Compile Output" and "Build Output" folders.
Try building and running your program in debug. Then also try building and running your program in release. Make note of the application output, and the compile output.
If you are still crashing on startup, go and start putting in debug statements throughout your code to see where it is dying, or break points when you are running you debug version in debug mode. For example: qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO; at the top of your main function.
Also when it crashes, make note of the return code. Searching the return code in Google can also tell you a lot about what is going on.
Also check the paths that your program relies on.
Go and check your .pro file for any dependencies that you weren't aware of.
And beyond that you will probably need to give more info to get more help from me. :)
Hope that helps.

C++11 static local variables and threads

Is static local variables safe for a class that creates/uses std::threads?
Because when I use something like this:
logger& logger::get_instance(void)
{
static logger lg;
return lg;
}
And try to exit (force close) the executable, it crashes/exits improperly (somethings the Visual Studio 2012 debugger even crashes).
When I don't do that, the program exits gracefully when i force close.
Here's the stack call when it crashes

Looks like you have a detached thread SchedulerBase(could be any scheduled thread which still uses logger) which is still running while your application is stopped and logger is destroyed which caused the crash.
And log_worker is dynamically allocated in the logger class.
You need to make sure all threads who use logger instance are shutdown properly before logger is destroyed
delete log_worker in logger destructor
I simply had to stop deleting things on shutdown. When you close the console using the 'X' button, it's not a proper shutdown, so It's pointless trying to shutdown threads.
