Description

Qgis crashes (with windows message "qgis-dev-bin-g7.exe has stopped working") after using QgsGeometry.delaunayTriangulation() in python script.

It reproduces when executing the attached processing script with the attached point layer.

Running the following code in python console can also trigger the crash, but it's sometimes necessary to run it twice:

pointLayer = iface.activeLayer()
multiPoint = QgsMultiPoint()
for pointFeature in pointLayer.getFeatures():
    multiPoint.addGeometry(pointFeature.geometry().vertexAt(0))

multiPointGeometry = QgsGeometry(multiPoint)
triangulation = multiPointGeometry.delaunayTriangulation(1e-3)
multiTriangle = triangulation.get()
for i in range(multiTriangle.numGeometries()):
    triangle = multiTriangle.geometryN(i)
    triangleGeometry = QgsGeometry(triangle)

History

#1 Updated by Nyall Dawson about 5 years ago

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from Open to Closed

triangleGeometry = QgsGeometry(triangle)

Should be

triangleGeometry = QgsGeometry(triangle.clone())

You are "stealing" ownership of an already owned object, which leads to a crash

#2 Updated by Antoine Lafranchis about 5 years ago

Thanks, it works fine now!

Isn't it possible to throw exceptions instead of crashing in cases of ownership theft?

#3 Updated by Nyall Dawson about 5 years ago

I think it should be, but generating these bindings is very complex and sometimes fragile, so I'm not 100% confident. I'll give it a shot sometime.
