segmentation fault

@JonB said in segmentation fault:

I'm not sure this is actually trying to deference the pointer

It does not, but I wanted to see its value :-)
Looks like it's not NULL.

Indeedy :) So now let's see how qDebug() << *mosq fares?

[Milav]

@JonB said in segmentation fault:

qDebug() << *mosq

gives error :-

/home/tdp0009/Teq_Projects/Aug_2019/HMI/Firmware/QT/12_oct_hmi/qt-mosquitto-master/mainwindow.cpp:54: note:   'qtmosq' is not derived from 'const QFlags<T>'

@JonB said in segmentation fault:

qDebug() << mosq->something

i tried following things and it output are '0'.

1. qDebug() << mosq->connect_async(host.data(), port);
2. qDebug() << mosq->loop_start();
3. qDebug() << mosq->subscribe(NULL, "sensors/temprature", 1);

the output of all above command are zero (0).

@JonB said in segmentation fault:

app from inside a debugge

i am not able to run the debugger because it gives following error.

The inferior stopped because it received a signal from the Operating System.

Signal name : 
SIGILL
Signal meaning : 
Illegal instruction

hope you got your answer.

sorry the error is as following not previous one.

/home/tdp0009/Teq_Projects/Aug_2019/HMI/Firmware/QT/12_oct_hmi/qt-mosquitto-master/mainwindow.cpp:54: error: no match for 'operator<<' in 'qDebug()() << *((MainWindow*)this)->MainWindow::mosq'

[JonB]

@Milav
First you wrote

and i debug the application via qDebug(), the application are crash on following line of code.
mosq->subscribe(NULL, "sensors/temprature", 1); // Segmentation falut

Now you write

qDebug() << mosq->subscribe(NULL, "sensors/temprature", 1);
the output of all above command are zero (0).

This is a problem if you say sometimes it seg faults and sometimes it returns 0? Is that the case? You need to be very specific in your answers!

i am not able to run the debugger because it gives following error.

That is indeed a big problem. There is little for us to answer from what you have posted. Is a debugger supposed to work for your "Embedded Custom Board" (I don't know about this)? You really need one. Otherwise you are likely to have to try printing out all sorts of information in your code to try to diagnose what is going on....

[Milav]

[jsulm]

@Milav Forget about

qDebug() << *mosq;

it's only going to work if operator<< was overloaded for that class, apparently it isn't, but this is not an issue.
Can you try to run the app directly with gdb?

[JonB]

@jsulm

Can you try to run the app directly with gdb?

I know this is not the place for a long explanation. But when OP says

I make a qt application for Embedded Custom Board

I thought (knowing nothing about this) it meant he is doing something like )cross-)compiling of whatever but the app runs "on the board", so he might not have/be able to use a debugger? Can you explain to me in one sentence what the OP's enthronement actually is, I'd like to have the vaguest understanding....

qDebug() << *mosq;

okay thank you.

@jsulm said in segmentation fault:

yes i tried but , debugger give me error,

the error is shown in below image.

[JonB]

@Milav
I think @jsulm is asking you try running your app directly in gdb (from the command-line), not from within Qt Creator, as Creator might be the cause of your debugger problem.

[J.Hilk]

@Milav ok, since you're able to run the debugger from QtCreator, try the following, select Debugin the menu bar, and select Start and Break on main that should work, and then step through your code line by line.

@JonB said in segmentation fault:

actually, i am new in this.

give me some time i explore it and give you answer.

i don't know how i run app in gdb.

[JonB]

@Milav

1. Open Command Prompt/terminal/shell.
2. cd to where your executable is.
3. gdb <your-executable>

[Milav]

@JonB

but in gdb how i see "stack trace" ?

what classes i use from List of classes of commands?

please tell me

[jsulm]

@Milav In gdb enter bt and press enter after your app crashed

[Milav]

@jsulm

i enter the gdb command as following .

@Milav
Type run first to run your program! Then if it crashes type bt. You could type man gdb from the command-line, or help from within gdb like the message states. We had to learn to do that....

[Milav]

@JonB

thank you for your help.

i run gdb from development host machine.

here i send the output of that.

i think you got what you want.

looking forward hearing from you.

@Milav said in segmentation fault:

Not really.
Did you build the app in debug mode?

[Milav]

yes i build the app in debug mode.
