Bug report #8269

QgsDataProvider.changeAttributeValues() causes memory error when called with non-QVariant argument

Added by Alexander Dunlap almost 11 years ago. Updated over 10 years ago.

Description

I ran the following code in the Python console, with a layer selected:

>>> l = qgis.utils.iface.activeLayer()
>>> l = qgis.utils.iface.activeLayer()
>>> p = l.dataProvider()
>>> from PyQt4.QtCore import QVariant
>>> p.changeAttributeValues({0 : { 0 : QVariant(0) } })
True
>>> p.changeAttributeValues({0 : { 0 : 0 } })

The second-to-last line works fine. Running the final line, however, causes QGIS to crash, with the error

QGIS(89325,0x7fff7cc04180) malloc: *** error for object 0x1065d35c0: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort trap: 6

The trace given in the Apple crash report is

Exception Type:  EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000

Application Specific Information:
*** error for object 0x1065d35c0: pointer being freed was not allocated

#1 Updated by Matthias Kuhn over 10 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Closed

This works with QGIS 2.0 (And there is no more data type QVariant in PyQT...) And as it seems, it's easy to work around in 1.8.

Please reopen if this is still an issue.
