Description
I use gdal warp to rescale raster images (http://www.gdal.org/gdalwarp.html). If I save any image with datatype Float32 i get an error when importing the file to qgis. If I save in Float64 it works without a problem. Other programs are however capable or reading and processing the Float32 images as well.

On the same platform and same QGIS version I cannot replicate.
What version of GDAL your QGIS copy is compiled aganist?
Please attach a sampe input raster and the gdalwarp command you are using to tranform it to float32.

GDAL 2.2.1 (installed from source). The input file is too large to attach...so I reduced extent and resolution...and voila it works without a proble.
I played a little bit around and it turns out that I had this problem only with very large files (>1GB). Since other processes where running as well it might be a memory problem or even a storage problem. The thing is that "Bad_alloc" doesn't really tell you anything what is actually the problem. Is it worth looking into the logs next time?

so, this happens with any float32 (and/or other types?) geotiff larger than 1gb regardless how it was created (gdalwarp or not)?

You could try starting QGIS under gdb
gdb qgis
run
and when it crashes, type "bt" and paste the backtrace you get
Also posting the output of "gdalinfo your.tif" might help others replicating

I'm sorry, I can't replicate the issue. After cleaning the memory and increasing storage the problem does not persist anymore. I think it was most probably related to one of those too. If it happens again I will definitely try to make it better reproducible. But to this end I would close the topic.
