I compiled a c++ source file from the Qt app I am creating. Now I want to run the exe file generated and also to redirect its input and output to txt files. But when I try to run it from QProcess, it fails to execute with exit code -2.
This is how I compiled the file using QProcess -
arguments << fileName << "-o" << exeFileName << "-static";
connect(compileProcess, SIGNAL(finished(int)), this, SLOT(compiled()));
compileProcess->start(QString("g++"), arguments);
And this is how I run the exe from QProcess in the slot compiled() -
runProcess->setStandardInputFile(inputFilename);
runProcess->setStandardOutputFile(QFileInfo(exeFileName).path() + "/output.txt");
int code = runProcess->execute(exeFileName); //code = -2
The program runs fine when I start it manually. So, why can't it be started from QProcess?
I am working with Qt 5.0.2 on Windows 7
This is the source file I am compiling -
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::string s;s
std::cin >> s;
std::cout << s;
return 0;
}
I finally got it to work. The exe file path had spaces in it and Qt did not implicitly add quotes around it. Adding quotes explicitly did the job.
runProcess->start("\"" + exeFileName + "\"");

I am running just a little code using libsndfile, in the emscripten environment
#include <iostream>
#include <sndfile.h>
int main()
{
SF_INFO info;
const char * path = "~/data/somefile.wav";
SNDFILE* sf = sf_open(path,SFM_READ, &info);
if(sf == NULL)
{
std::cout<< sf_strerror(sf) << std::endl;
return 1;
}
std::cout<<info.samplerate<<std::endl;
std::cout<<"Hello world" << std::endl;
}
So ideally if I run this with normal cmake (Apple Clang compiler) everything works fine, the samplerate and hello world are printed, but when I run this with emcmake cmake (em++ compiler) and run the compiled node main.js file it says System error: no such file or directory. Who can help me with this? Who has experienced such thing?
So I figured it out.
The problem is that Emscripten has its virtual file environment. So if you want this file to be uploaded and later be seen in compiled .js file, you need to add compile flag --preload-file <FILE_PATH> , after that the file with given path will be recognized by emscripten environment.
I am working on Windows and I am trying to write an array into a Ubuntu device using C++ in Visual Studio 2019. Here's a sample of my code:
int Run_WriteCalibTable(char *pcIPAddress, int iNumArgs, float *fArgs, int *iAnsSize, char *sAns)
...
...
...
char pcFolderName[256];
char pcFileName[256];
sprintf(pcFolderName, "%s\\%s",pcSavePath, pcUUTSerialNumber);
sprintf(pcFileName, "%s\\calib_rfclock.conf",pcFolderName);
// WRITE TABLE ON PC
FILE *pFileW;
pFileW = fopen(pcFileName,"wb");
fwrite(&CalibTable, sizeof(char), CalibTable.hdr.v1.u32Len, pFileW);
fclose(pFileW);
}
return 0;
However, I keep having this pop-up from Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library that says:
Debug Assertion Failed:
Program:...
File: f:\dd\vctools\crt_bld\sefl_x86\crt\src\fwrite.c
Line: 77
Expression: (stream != NULL)
...
I found this thread and I tried logging in as root on my Ubuntu device. I also tried:
mount -o remount,rw /path/to/parent/directory
chmod 777 /path/to/parent/directory
And I can also create/edit manualy any file in the directory I'm trying to write into with my code, but I get the same error when running it.
Anyone knows what could cause this? I think it could be on the Windows side, but I don't know what I am doing wrong. Thanks a lot in advance.
You never check that opening the file succeeds - and it most likely fails, which is why you get the debug pop-up. Your use of \ as directory delimiters may be the only reason why it fails, but you should check to be sure.
I suggest that you use std::filesystem::path (C++17) to build your paths. That makes it easy to create paths in a portable way. You could also make use of a C++ standard std::ofstream to create the file. That way you don't need to close it afterwards. It closes automatically when it goes out of scope.
Example:
#include <cerrno>
#include <cstring>
#include <filesystem>
#include <fstream>
int Run_WriteCalibTable(char *pcIPAddress, int iNumArgs, float *fArgs,
int *iAnsSize, char *sAns)
{
...
// Build std::filesystem::paths:
auto pcFolderName = std::filesystem::path(pcSavePath) / pcUUTSerialNumber;
auto pcFileName = pcFolderName / "calib_rfclock.conf";
// only try to write to the file if opening the file succeeds:
if(std::ofstream pFileW(pcFileName, std::ios::binary); pFileW) {
// Successfully opened the file, now write to it:
pFileW.write(reinterpret_cast<const char*>(&CalibTable),
CalibTable.hdr.v1.u32Len);
} else {
// Opening the file failed, print the reason:
std::cerr << pcFileName << ": " << std::strerror(errno) << std::endl;
}
...
}
I need to write c++ program which sets path using system() function:
system("set PATH=%PATH%;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\\VC\\bin\\amd64");
system("nvcc -x cu -o cudapair cudapair.c");
But it doesnt work. It throws error, because path wasn't set. What's the problem?
I need to write c++ program which sets path using system() function
I'm assuming what you actually need to do is write a C++ program that
sets the PATH for the environment in which it will then execute
nvcc -x cu -o cudapair cudapair.c
You think you need to make that environment setting with
the system function, but in fact you don't.
You should understand that a process cannot change its own environment.
A process inherits its environment from its parent process, and it
can change the environment that is inherited by its child processes.
That's why your posted attempt does not work.
system("set PATH=%PATH%;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\\VC\\bin\\amd64");
executes a child process of your program. That child process gets the same environment settings
as your program, and can't change them. What does that child process do? It invokes the
Windows shell to run the commandline:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\\VC\\bin\\amd64");
This would change the environment settings of any more child processes that were started
by this commandline. But there aren't any. The commandline makes an environment setting
that no process uses. Your system call returns. That environment setting no longer
exists anywhere. Nothing has changed.
You then call:
system("nvcc -x cu -o cudapair cudapair.c");
which starts a second child process, again with the same environment settings that your
program started with.
What you should do
Get the value of PATH from the environment that your program inherits.
Using that value, create the new value of PATH that you want to pass to your child process.
Put that new value of PATH into the environment your child process will inherit.
Run your child process.
You use system only to do 4.
To do 1, use the Microsoft C library function getenv_s
(It is a secure variant of the Standard C++ std::getenv)
To do 3, use the Microsoft C library function _putenv_s (Note the leading underscore.)
Here is an illustrative program for Visual C++:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
const std::size_t ENV_BUF_SIZE = 1024; // Enough for your PATH?
int main()
{
char buf[ENV_BUF_SIZE];
std::size_t bufsize = ENV_BUF_SIZE;
int e = getenv_s(&bufsize,buf,bufsize,"PATH");
if (e) {
std::cerr << "`getenv_s` failed, returned " << e << '\n';
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
std::string env_path = buf;
std::cout << "In main process, `PATH`=" << env_path << std::endl;
env_path += ";C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\\VC\\bin\\amd64";
e = _putenv_s("PATH",env_path.c_str());
if (e) {
std::cerr << "`_putenv_s` failed, returned " << e << std::endl;
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
std::cout << std::endl;
e = std::system("echo \"In child process `PATH`=%PATH%\"");
if (e) {
std::cerr << "`std::system` failed, returned " << e << std::endl;
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
return 0;
}

I want to compile a c++ file from Qt application by using QProcess. But it is not working, I don't see any .o or .exe file generated by the compiler.
Here is what I am doing -
QProcess *process = new QProcess(this);
QString program = "g++";
QStringList arguments;
//fileName is fetched from QFileDialog
arguments << fileName << "-o" << QFileInfo(fileName).path() + QFileInfo(fileName).baseName() + ".exe";
errorFilename = QFileInfo(fileName).baseName() + "_error.txt";
process->setStandardOutputFile(errorFilename);
connect(process, SIGNAL(finished(int)), this, SLOT(compiled()));
process->start(program, arguments);
Pleae tell me what's wrong with this code. I am working on windows 7.
Keep in mind that errors don't go to stdout, they go to stderr. Try using:
process->setStandardErrorFile(errorFilename);
Also QFileInfo::path() won't have a path separator at the end, so you'll need to add one when concatenating the path with the base filename:
QFileInfo finfo(fileName);
arguments << fileName << "-o" << QFileInfo( QDir(finfo.path()), finfo.baseName() + ".exe").filePath();
I am trying to do console application to read pixels from image:
#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
#include <QtGui/QImage>
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
QImage *img = new QImage("adadad.jpg");
//std::cout << "Type filename:" << std::endl;
img->isNull();
return a.exec();
}
That doesn't work I got: (IT doesn't compile, but anyway file isn't exist yet...)
File not found: tmp/obj/debug_shared/main.o:: In function `main':
What is going on? Is it impossible to use Qimage with console app?!
EDIT:
screen
It is possible to use QImage in a console application, you must make sure that QtGui is configured though. If you chose a console app, your .pro file might contain something like
CONFIG += console
QT -= gui
If that's the case, remove the QT -= gui line.
QImage("adadad.jpg");
Will probably look for a file called adadad.jpg on the current working directory for your application. Check if that file is present. Otherwise, use a fully qualified path.
img->isNull() doesn't do anything on it's own, try this instead:
if(img->isNull())
std::cout << "Image isNull!\n";
else
std::cout << "Image loaded\n";
My guess is that the local directory of the executable is not the same as the location of that image, so Qt can't find the file. Try specifying the complete path.
EDIT: Ahh... didn't realize it was a compilation problem. That looks suspiciously like a moc issue. What build system are you using? and can you confirm that the moc step is executing?
This modification of your code will compile and run as expected if there is a valid image file in the current working directory when you run the app. It will display Image loaded
#include <QtGui/QImage>
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QImage *img = new QImage("adadad.jpg");
if(img->isNull())
std::cout << "Image is null";
else
std::cout << "Image loaded";
return 0;
}
You do not need to create an instance of QCoreApplication unless you have subclassed it and put your program code in that subclass.
Update:
Your program does not exit so you are probably getting that compile error because it can't replace the executable because it is still running (and locked). The file locking is more likely to be an issue under Windows.
An important note when you are loading a file using directly "adadad.jpg" in your code. Even if you put the file inside the debug/release folder, QImage will always be null if loaded this way.
I run into this problem yesterday and I fixed it by using the Qt library to get the full path: QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath().
There is two way to achieve that, first one is when you create the img object.
QImage img( QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "adadad.jpg");
if( img.isNull())
{
qDebug() << "Loading Error - file: adadad.jpg.";
return false;
}
or using the load function
QImage img;
if( !img.load(QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "adadad.jpg"))
{
qDebug() << "Loading Error - file: adadad.jpg.";
return false;
}
