Bug report #9678

Python console : crash when printing from signals

Description

When using Python's 'print' command from some signals, and when the console has been activated (i.e. print are not redirected to stdout), frequent crashs occur.
Example of code to reproduce (in the console or from a plugin):

def on_render( _ ):
    print "render complete" 

qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas().renderComplete.connect(on_render)

Then move the map to trigger the renderComplete.

When using the regular stdout (on the Linux console for instance), it works correctly.

I experienced similar crashes with other signals.

Example of stack trace follows. Another involved a SIGSEGV in QScintilla

It happens with 2.3 238350ff4942, but I am pretty sure it already happened with 2.1

History

#1 Updated by Hugo Mercier about 10 years ago

  • Affected QGIS version changed from 2.2.0 to master

#2 Updated by Matthias Kuhn about 10 years ago

Did this start with MT-rendering?
Can you try

def on_render( _ ):
    print "render complete" 

qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas().renderComplete.connect(on_render, Qt.QueuedConnection)

#3 Updated by Hugo Mercier about 10 years ago

I don't think it started with multi-thread rendering, but cannot be 100% sure (I will have to test on previous versions).
No crash observed when using Qt.QueuedConnection

#4 Updated by Salvatore Larosa about 10 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback

I can't confirm here, opening the python console and pasting your snippets I am not getting the crash after panning the map.

does it also happen by startig qgis without python plugins?

#5 Updated by Hugo Mercier about 10 years ago

I need to trigger the signal a lot of times before it crashes.
But yes, without plugins it still crashes.

I forgot to mention I use a "DEBUG" compilation.
The line involved in the crash is a Q_ASSERT in qgsmapcanvas.cpp:760.

I don't know if this Q_ASSERT is too pessimistic or not.

#6 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 9 years ago

  • Status changed from Feedback to Open

#7 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 7 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback
  • Crashes QGIS or corrupts data changed from No to Yes
  • Affected QGIS version changed from master to 2.2.0
  • Priority changed from Normal to High

Hi Hugo,

what is the status of this (old) ticket/issue? Still an issue on 2.18.4 qgis3/master? Thanks.

Note:
I changed the affected version back to 2.2 because now "master" means qgis3/master.

#8 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 7 years ago

  • Resolution set to not reproducable
  • Description updated (diff)
  • Status changed from Feedback to Closed

Hugo, closing for lack of feedback, please reopen is still valid! thanks!
