Getting "QWidget::releaseDC(): failed to release HDC" when using a Qt + OSG Viewer.

[kio.marv]

NOTE: I also posted this in the OSG mailing list.

Hi,

I have mixed Qt and OSG to create a viewer for the PCL library OutOfCore trees (using the wrapper classes of osgpcl written by Adam Stambler: https://github.com/adasta/osgpcl).

I started with the osgQtViewer example and changed it accordingly with my needs. Using Windows 7 64 bits, the viewer works great.
Now, I tried to run the viewer in 32 bits and got an assertion error from Eigen that I could overpass including this in my class:

EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW

But then I got a new error about constructing a QWidget before a QApplication when creating the graphics context:

osg::ref_ptr<osgQt::GraphicsWindowQt> gc = new osgQt::GraphicsWindowQt(traits.get());

osg::ref_ptr<osgQt::GraphicsWindowQt> gc = new osgQt::GraphicsWindowQt(traits.get());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This was due to mixing debug and release libraries.

Now, using only release libraries I got rid of that error and the viewer widget window appears, but when it is about to show the OutOfCore tree, the app segfaults with this error:

QWidget::releaseDC(): failed to release HDC (El identificador del contexto de dispositivo (DC) no es v?lido.)

QWidget::releaseDC(): failed to release HDC (El identificador del contexto de dispositivo (DC) no es v?lido.)

My viewer class inherits both from QWidget and from osg::CompositeViewer. Here is how the widget is called:

// The widget already exists. It is created in the main thread with some default values. No camera, no graphics context.
widget->AddCloud();   
 
osg::Vec3d eye, up;
 
widget->getCameraManipulator()->getHomePosition(eye, center, up);
 
distance = widget->getCameraManipulator()->getFusionDistanceValue();

// The widget already exists. It is created in the main thread with some default values. No camera, no graphics context.
widget->AddCloud();   

osg::Vec3d eye, up;

widget->getCameraManipulator()->getHomePosition(eye, center, up);

distance = widget->getCameraManipulator()->getFusionDistanceValue();

And the involved methods from the OSG+Qt Viewer:

  std::cout << "Loading cloud from file: " << cloud_file.c_str() << "\n";
 
  int fileformat_idx( cloud_filepath.find(".pcd") );
 
  std::string aux( cloud_filepath.substr(0, fileformat_idx) );
 
  aux += "_octree/tree.oct_idx";

  );

Can you please tell me where I'm failing? I'm clueless about this crash.

Best regards,
