Qt Creat or crashes when QPrinter object is declared

Hello,

I am using QT 4.6.3. When I create an object of QPrinter (i.e QPrinter printer()),
Qt Creator crashes at this declaration. I debuged to this statement and as i press F10 to execute this statement gdb crashes with error " gdb.exe (process id 4063) crashed"

I would appreciate a prompt response in this regard.

Thank You

Please post the full method where this line is in.

Here is my code....the debuger crashes on the QPrinter printer decleration

Code:

you mean the line 4 in the code above?

yes the line 4 and i know it sounds stupid :)

What happens if you put a debug statement, and run application directly, without stepping through?

can you briefly describe what do u mean by debug statement. do u mean break point or something else.

Code:

---

QPrinter printer();

This is a declaration of a function called "printer" that takes no parameters and returns a QPrinter object and not a declaration of a QPrinter instance called "printer". Try to be explicit when you say something :)

Also does QtCreator crash or does your app crash?

But wysota, look at his code, he is calling it so:

Code:

---

QPrinter printer;

---

I know, it's just in the first post he said it was "QPrinter printer()".

sorry for my mistake actually I ment "QPrinter printer;" . wysota my app does not crash nor does my QT creator. Actually this is the function to print a report. If i am running the program and click the button that calls this function, everything works fine but no report is created. So, when i debug to this line, the gdb crashes Here
i get the error. "The application "gdb.exe" (process id 3088) crashed. Would you like to debug?"

So why are you posting this problem here and not on some gdb forum?

because it is happening on QPrinter object decleration and nowhere else :)

Tough luck, still we can't help you with this. Try debugging the debugger and see where it crashes :]
