Inconsistent behavior of QSerialPort on Debian

[Hjunior]

@SGaist Yes all of them are phsical ports of my computer. NO usb to serial.

[SGaist]

Does it also happen if you change devices e.g. exchange the devices from ttyS1 and ttyS6.

[Hjunior]

@SGaist No difference.

[SGaist]

Does the devies need the DTR to be set ?

[Hjunior]

@SGaist Yes the device uses Hardware flow control and in the technical manual says it uses DTR/DSR.

[SGaist]

Silly question but, did you set DTR in your application ?

Hello again,

I finally figured out how this occurs.

BaseSerialDevice.cpp

class BaseSerialDevice : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
....
protected:
    QSerialPort *serial;
....

Problematic.cpp

class Problematic : public BaseSerialDevice
{
    Q_OBJECT
...

MainWindow.h

...
private:
    Problematic worksLikeACharm;

Everything works as expected if defined as a NON-POINTER but if;
MainWindow.h

...
private:
    Problematic* notWorksSo;

then in MainWindow.cpp's constructor:

notWorksSo = new Problematic(parent()); 
or 
notWorksSo = new Problematic(NULL); 
or 
notWorksSo = new Problematic;

the problem occurs as defined at the start of this topic. And same situation occurs if we use QSocket as same architecture.

I tested it from scratch at least 6 times. Im sure of that case.

And Cant believe and cant understand why?

[SGaist]

And if you build it with Problematic(this) ?

When you don't pass it a parent, do you delete it in the destructor of your MainWindow ?

@SGaist Hi.

I am tried with Problematic(this) no change. In case of no parent arg i tried with delete, but nothing changed.

I tried making it static as
MainWindow.h

static Problematic* notWorksSo;

MainWindow.cpp

Problematic* MainWindow::notWorksSo = 0;

then in constructor

notWorksSo = new Problematic(this); 

NOTHING CHANGED.

Any ideas?

Without seeing the implementation of these classes I can't tell.
