reading file line by line crashes

[mourad_bilog]

Hello everyone,

I've a program that open a file (380 Mo) into a QTextStream and read data line by line with the readLine function.
Recenly a have encoutred a crash problem when reading data and I've tried some manipulation by the crash persists.
Note that every line contains some big data and lines ends with \n\r.

Below my code :

QFile srfile(mScriptFileName);  

	if (!srfile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
	{
		mExistMajData = false;	
		mIsError = true;
		return ;
	}

	QTextStream in(&srfile);

	while (!in.atEnd() && !mIsError) 
	{
		qApp->processEvents(QEventLoop::WaitForMoreEvents);

		//lecture des données lignes par ligne		
		try 
		{ 
			line_data = in.readLine(); // it crashes here (eg. PJ)
			record_data = line_data.split("<|>");
			qDebug() << "Fin lecture d'une ligne n°" << QString::number(++nb_cmd) << record_data[3] << QTime::currentTime().toString("hh:mm") << endl ;
		} 
		catch ( const std::bad_alloc & ) 
		{ 
			 std::cerr << "Erreur : mémoire insuffisante.\n"; 
		} 
		catch ( const std::out_of_range & ) 
		{ 
			 std::cerr << "Erreur : débordement de mémoire.\n"; 
		} 
		catch ( const std::exception & e ) 
		{ 
			std::cerr << e.what(); 
		}

The call stack indicated the following :

I've reinstalled the VC redistribuable. Rebuil all the project. Search if I can free QTextStream buffer but the problem persists

Can anyone tell me what wrong et what I must to do to resolve this. Some

Thanks in advance

crash problem

What kind of crash is it? Out of memory? Or something else?

[J.Hilk]

hi @mourad_bilog

Even if this doesn't crash your application, you should check if recordData has indeed more than 3 entries!

qDebug() << "Fin lecture d'une ligne n°" << QString::number(++nb_cmd) << record_data[3] << QTime::currentTime().toString("hh:mm") << endl ;

besides that, I see this

qApp->processEvents(QEventLoop::WaitForMoreEvents);

potentially causing serious issues, do not spin the event loop manually!

[mourad_bilog]

First, Thanks for reply.

@jsulm it's a memory crash. Below the error occured :

Exception de première chance à 0x0fcbd5be (msvcr80d.dll) dans TheriaqueUpdater.exe : 0xC0000005: Violation d'accès lors de l'écriture à l'emplacement 0x2804e000.
Exception non gérée à 0x0fcbd5be (msvcr80d.dll) dans TheriaqueUpdater.exe : 0xC0000005: Violation d'accès lors de l'écriture à l'emplacement 0x2804e000.

@J-Hilk the crash occus on in.readLine. The recod data has 6 entries and it's shown evey time.
I've commented the eventLoop but the application still crashes.

Note that line data lengths can be around 1 milion carachtars.

How long is the line you're reading when the app is crashing?

@mourad_bilog said in reading file line by line crashes:

@J-Hilk the crash occus on in.readLine. The recod data has 6 entries and it's shown evey time.

do not base this solely on faith:

if(record_data.size()> 3)
qDebug() << "Fin lecture d'une ligne n°" << QString::number(++nb_cmd) << record_data[3] << QTime::currentTime().toString("hh:mm") << endl ;
 else
 qDebug() << "would have crashed";

@jsulm said in reading file line by line crashes:

How long is the line you're reading when the app is crashing?

About 1 200 000 charactars.

[mourad_bilog]

@J-Hilk
I've commented that line but the same occurs.

[J.Hilk]

@mourad_bilog alight thanks thumbs up

question , is this Qt4?
and is this a multi threaded project, and is do you read and write to that file from different places ?

[mourad_bilog]

@J.Hilk
question , is this Qt4? yes. but the program runs correctly for some years.

and is this a multi threaded project, : No, it's one thread.

and is do you read and write to that file from different places : No, I just read from that file. I just open it in "ReadOnly" mode.

[mourad_bilog]

I've read in a post how has similar problem that he has solved the problem using file.readLine no QTextStream.readLine(). What is the difference between the 2 functions ?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

@mourad_bilog said in reading file line by line crashes:

1 200 000

really one line?

[mourad_bilog]

@Christian-Ehrlicher there's many lines witch everyone exceed 1 milion charactars.
Is this a problem ? That can exceed what QTextStream buffer contains ?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

At least I would consider this - it's a 2.4MB huge QString, should be ok but who knows. I would simply try QFile::readLine(), split the QByteArray and convert to QString as late as possible (if needed at all)

[mourad_bilog]

Checking Windows events journal, it indicates that msvcr causes this crash, that's true ?

I've re-installed Visual redistribuable 2005 but the problem persists. Note that I dont found msvcr80 in the system32 not like other versions msvcr71, msvcr10, etc.

Does this the problem ?

[SGaist]

Hi,

Did you monitor your application RAM usage ?

[mourad_bilog]

Finally I changed reading mode to read directly from the data file. It's most faster and just I was care to encode data when reading to keep special charcatars.

Thanks all for your ideas
