Error on initializing QByteArray

[oliver_mpt]

Hi,

I am porting an app from Qt 5.12.2 to Qt 6.5.0
The following lines are generating a crash in Qt6 while they posed no problem in Qt5

QByteArray qb;
qb[0] = 0; qb[1] = 0;

I have not found any indication in the documentation of the QByteArray class that its behaviour had been modified regarding this.

Any idea ?

Hi,

It's explained in the operator documentation for Qt 5.15. And the behavior for Qt 6 is also explained in the corresponding operator documentation.

Your code will might already crash with 5.15.

Hi SGaist

Thanks for your help. Believe me, this code is working in 5.15.2 every day.
I'll read the doc carefully

Believe me, this code is working in 5.15.2 every day.

But it may crash tomorrow since it's undefined behavior.

@oliver_mpt my bad, wrong verb. I meant to write: might already crash. But luckily it's not.

In any case, as the warning suggests, do not rely on such a behaviour.

Thanks SGaist and Christian
I'll rewrite that code cleanly :-)
