QML crash in Qt 5.9 - help to read stack trace - c++

I am writing an app using Qt 5.9 with C++ main and QML UI on the top. Everything fine (including sending signals from C++ to QML) but when I add ChartView to the UI, I am seeing a crash. The stripped-down version of the ChartView looks like the following; when I omit it from the code, no crash.
ChartView {
id: _chartView
LineSeries {
name: "avgZ"
XYPoint { x: 0; y: 0}
}
}
This is the stack trace (via excellent backward-cpp):

Can anyone find some hint in the stack trace what could be causing the crash?
I was able to run QML examples with line charts without any issue.

If you are going to use Qt Charts you must change the QGuiApplication to QApplication and add QT += widgets to .pro

Shared library problems between C++11 and C++14

I have had to switch from C++11 to C++14 in my project to use the Catch testing framework, written for C++14 (it doesn't compile with anything less). Everything compiles fine. However, while running the program, the following function causes a series of errors which seem linked to a mismatch between C++11 and C++14 shared standard library files:
//it is called as such:
string p = "...";
handle_file(p);
//...
int handle_file (string p) {
if (is_valid(p)) {
return 0;
}
else return -1;
}
The error trace in gdb reads:

Does anyone know how to solve this?
The error is inside malloc, after it has printed some error message (usually double-free or something similar) indicating heap corruption.
While it is possible that you have some kind of library mismatch, it is much more likely that you have a plain heap corruption bug in your own code (overflowing heap buffer, double delete, delete of non-allocated, etc. etc.), and that bug is simply getting exposed now, while it remained hidden before.
Your first step should be to run the program under Valgrind or with Address Sanitizer, and fix any errors these tools report.

gRPC C++: AddressSanitizer: bad-free

gRPC v1.30.0
I created a grpc service and tried to run it. The execution goes smooth till the last return statement at server side.
Status theService(ServerContext *context, const Request* req, Response* res)
{
Status status = actualLogic(req,res);
//execution goes fine till here
return status;
}
Status actualLogic(req,res)
{
Response_NestedMsg msg;
msg.set_something(...);
res->mutable_nestedmsg()->CopyFrom(msg);
return Status::OK
}
//server startup code
ServerBuilder builder;
builder.AddListeningPort((address),grpc::InsecureServerCredentials());
builder.RegisterService(&serviceClassObj);
std::unique_ptr<Server> server(builder.BuildAndStart());
server->Wait();
Running this code, I get following runtime error

None of my code tries to free any pointer and error seems to be coming from some auto generated file only. Please suggest if some more code/details needed.
I briefly checked the error message and code but it looks strange to me because both allocation and destruction were done by C++ new & delete. This is also consistent with your error message.
### Destruction (with operator delete)
#0 0x7fe9d35602c0 in operator delete(void*) (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasan.so.4+0xe12c0)
### Allocation (with operator new)

This might be caused by other issues like buggy ASAN or customized memory allocator.

Using gcc's thread sanitizer yields various errors at startup

I have some weird multithreading bugs, so I wanted to use the gcc thread sanitizer to find them. However, when I compile with -sanitize=thread the resulting binary segfaults immediatly with the following stacktrace:

How can I fix this? What am I doing wrong here?
I haven't used TSAN w/gcc so can't help there, but you might want to give it a shot with clang (https://clang.llvm.org/). Since TSAN is part of clang, bugs tend to get fixed there first.
If you need help building clang, I've also written an article that might be useful: http://btorpey.github.io/blog/2015/01/02/building-clang/
Answer found here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/thread-sanitizer/5cxyhIrl_SE
You don't need to give -ltsan (at least when using clang). You need to
give -fsanitize=thread both when compiling and linking.
-fsanitize=thread when linking will ensure that all proper libraries
get linked in.
This worked for me for both clang and gcc

glibc malloc deadlock during string reserve

From some time I am trying to catch a problem with my product hanging. This is the call stack I got after coredumping the process with gcore:

This is multithreaded code executed after forking a process in log4cxx ndc push seemingly. All the other threads sleep on condition variables and this is the only one deadlocked. What could possibly make malloc deadlock?
You shouldn't fork processes that use threading.
If one of the other threads has a lock acquired (let's say, the lock in malloc) during the fork, the lock is cloned in locked state, but the thread that locked it isn't running in the forked process. This means that the lock will never be released.

coredump: read file content to std::string

I encounter a coredump when read file content to std::string. Code is list below:
bool readContentFromFile(const char* fileName, std::string& content)
{
std::ifstream t(fileName);
if(!t) {
return false;
}
t.seekg(0, std::ios::end);
content.reserve(t.tellg());
t.seekg(0, std::ios::beg);
content.assign((std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(t)),
std::istreambuf_iterator<char>());
return true;
}
But occasionally the code cause coredump as below:
...

#15 0x00000000004bf225 in readContentFromFile(char const*, std::string&) ()
From the above code snippets, exception is throwed in underflow function. But I have no idea why throw exception. The file maybe removed when reading, but which statment in code maybe cause throwing exception?
Pretty clear from the stack trace that the exception is being thrown from content.assign. Looks like string::assign is an inline function which calls std::string::_M_replace_dispatch. You could check this by looking at the header files, or using a debugger. Does that answer the question?
