Application crashes while accessing Pointers and while Hovering over custom QGraphicsItems

[mrjj]

Hi and welcome to the forums
When does the crash happen?
When you call some function or when you close app ?

[Lanparty]

Hi there! Thank you so much.

The crash currently happens when I start the application (i think due to ellipse1->checkPointers();) or when I hover over one of the circles with my cursor.

Hi
So if you put break point at
void Slice::hoverEnterEvent(QGraphicsSceneHoverEvent *)
and single step over the code.
Can you then pinpoint which line it does crash in?

[Lanparty]

@mrjj Hey, if i put the breakpoint where you implied it does not even get to the breakpoint and I only get the segfault (see above in screenshot) again.

Even after commenting // ellipse1->checkPointers(); out it still behaves the same way while debugging.

However when starting the application it starts now without crashing immediately (after taking out / ellipse1->checkPointers();), it only crashes once I hover over the objects.

But I'll try to find the position where it crashes and I'll update this message or post another reply once I know.

Ok so its before hoverEnterEvent. thats odd.
Also, there really is nothing of your code in call stack ?

Hi,

The stack trace you posted seems to be from a release build. Can you share the stack trace from your debug build ?

Hi! Thanks again for your replies and your interest in my current problem.
I'm not quite sure if I did this the correct way, but I think I figured out how to get what you asked and I hope that this information is what you've been looking for.

This should be the call stack from my debug build (at least I hope it is :'D):

Hi
Super.
Is that from when it crashes ?

[Lanparty]

@mrjj yeah, well I ran the debugger and this is what happened afterwards (including the application crashing)

[Lanparty]

@Lanparty said in Application crashes while accessing Pointers and while Hovering over custom QGraphicsItems:

void Slice::hoverEnterEvent(QGraphicsSceneHoverEvent *)
{
    if (text.isNull())
        return;

    QString percentageAsString = QString::number(int(this->getPercentage()));

    text.data()->setPlainText(this->category + " " + percentageAsString + "% ");

    int xOffset = int(rect().x() + rect().width()/2);
    int yOffset = int(rect().y() + rect().height()/2);

    QPointF newCenterPoint = QPointF(this->pos().x()+ xOffset, this->pos().y() + yOffset);
    QPointF textPoint = newCenterPoint;

    textPoint.setX(this->x() + 100);

    text.data()->setPos(textPoint);

    text.data()->setVisible(true);
}

so, I actually managed to find out where my application crashed. The problem was this line:

 text.data()->setPlainText(this->category + " " + percentageAsString + "% ");

once I checked the expected parameters it kind of made sense. I'll try to find another way to achieve the string I originally wanted to be displayed.

[SGaist]

Do you mean you were missing the text.isNull() check ?

[Lanparty]

@SGaist No, that's the first thing I did inside the method. However, I simply assumed that I could use the method setPlainText() as I pleased, but it was expecting other arguments and crashed instead (I guess because the QString text would've been longer than the original one.

btw: how do I change the status of my post to "solved"?
