Segmentation fault when getting QString - c++

Question

Strange problem, already looked into with several colleagues...
Using Qt Creator and Qt 4.8.5
define an object
set a number of values with setters
request values with a getters
result: getting an int no problem, all other values give segmentation fault
but with breakpoint in debugger the values are correctly shown, so they are in the object!
same code worked before, problem "just appeared". Compiler issue?
private:
int id;
QString name;
public;
int getId() { return this->id; } // OK
void setId(int id) { this->id = id; }
QString getName() { return this->name; } // SIGSEGV
void setName(QString name) { this->name = name; }
Any ideas? Same issue known?
UPDATE
Changed code to this, based on comments, still same issue
private:
int id;
QString name;
public;
int getId() { return id; } // OK
void setId(int setTo) { id = setTo; }
QString getName() { return name; } // SIGSEGV
void setName(QString setTo) { name = setTo; }

I was facing similar issue. Although I could not find the root cause of this issue, I have another observation.
If we define the getter functions outside the class declaration using scope resolution operator the code works.
QString MyClass::GetX(void) {
return mX;
}
QString MyClass::GetY(void) {
return mY;
}
class MyClass
{
public:
MyClass(){}
/* Functions for setting mX and mY strings. */
QString GetX(void);
QString GetY(void);
isDataAvailable()
{
return mAvailable;
}
private:
bool mAvailable;
QString mX;
QString mY;
};
As I understand, in C++, if we define a function within class declaration, by default it is inline... so the issue could be something related with inlining of the functions.

thinking further about the way objects are created in memory, I thought that a QString maybe doesn't reserve fixed number of bytes, which could be the cause of this strange behavior and guess what, a dummy change solved my problem...
This feels like a really "dirty" solution, but at least I can go on with my work ;-)
But any idea's on the root cause would really be appreciated! Thanks already for all the valuable comments!!!
private:
QString name; // FIRST DEFINE QSTRING
int id; // THEN DEFINE INT
public;
int getId() { return id; } // OK
void setId(int setTo) { id = setTo; }
QString getName() { return name; } // OK
void setName(QString setTo) { name = setTo; }
