Alloc panic in creating QApplication in Symbian

[vijay_vrc]

Hi

I am trying to create an instance of QApplication in Appui ConstructL like bellow:

int argc = 0;
char **argv = 0;
QApplication a(argc, argv); delete[] argv;

But it is giving alloc panic while exiting the applicarion.

If i comment QApplication a(argc, argv) then i it won't give any panic.



We have tried the below statement before Qapplication same alloc panic we are getting.

__crt0(argc, argv, envp);


can some body explain the reason that why its happening?what is happening internally when we call Qapplication constructor?


Regards

Warning: The data referred to by argc and argv must stay valid for the entire lifetime of the QApplication object. In addition, argc must be greater than zero and argv must contain at least one valid character string.

Hi Danhicksbyron,

Thanks for your reply I tried with Class variables also same panic I am getting.
I found something for the panic.

In Qapplication they are using some Static global variables which is creating the problem i think.

Why not just use auto variables, only observe the restriction I quoted?

Yes, I believe this is documented issue. In Symbian using __UHEAP_MARK; __UHEAP_MARKEND; - pair which causes the panic when heap is in imbalance at the end marker won't work as Q_GLOBAL_STATIC is not deleted until in global destructors.
