QLC+ Segmentation Fault on Exit

[webdb22]

QLC+ seems to work fine on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, but core dumps on exit due to Segmentation Fault:

Don't know if this is an issue, at least it's weird!

That should ring a bell...

[webdb22]

Hmmm, maybe I didn't get it, QLC+ could not open the ALSA interface, fine (there is no sound card). But QLC+ shouldn't core dump on exit, should it?

[Massimo Callegari]

It shouldn't.

If you compile from sources try to replace this function in alsamidienumerator.cpp with the following code:

MidiEnumeratorPrivate::~MidiEnumeratorPrivate()
{
qDebug() stop();

while (m_outputDevices.isEmpty() == false)
delete m_outputDevices.takeFirst();

while (m_inputDevices.isEmpty() == false)
delete m_inputDevices.takeFirst();

delete m_inputThread;
m_inputThread = NULL;
}
}

Thanks for the quick reply! Compiling from sources is unfortunately above my skills, I'd be happy if you would integrate this bugfix into the next version!

Please keep up your great work on QLC+! Thanks!
