For those new to message boards please try to follow a few simple rules when posting your question.- Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears.
- Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
- Keep the subject line brief, but descriptive. eg "File Serialization problem"
- Keep the question as brief as possible. If you have to include code, include the smallest snippet of code you can.
- Be careful when including code that you haven't made a typo. Typing mistakes can become the focal point instead of the actual question you asked.
- Do not remove or empty a message if others have replied. Keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read. If your problem was answered then edit your message and add "[Solved]" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
- If you are posting source code with your question, place it inside <pre></pre> tags. We advise you also check the "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checkbox before pasting anything inside the PRE block, and make sure "Ignore HTML tags in this message" check box is unchecked.
- Be courteous and DON'T SHOUT. Everyone here helps because they enjoy helping others, not because it's their job.
- Please do not post links to your question in one forum from another, unrelated forum (such as the lounge). It will be deleted.
- Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards. Doing so will get you kicked off and banned. Play nice.
- If you have a school or university assignment, assume that your teacher or lecturer is also reading these forums.
- No advertising or soliciting.
- We reserve the right to move your posts to a more appropriate forum or to delete anything deemed inappropriate or illegal.

PLEASE NOTE
This post is "cut and paste' from word processor, HENCE the code IS NOT (properly) formatted.
If that bothers you - do not read any more and do not reply (instruction !).
Thanks
When I step thru the attached I can verify / validate "parent" in
SettingsDialog(QWidget *parent)
.
However - this line of code fails to give SAME info as debugger did .
text += parent->objectName();
Where is my error ?
There are no compiler /linker errors.
Application runs.
```
SettingsDialog::SettingsDialog(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
m_ui(new Ui::SettingsDialog),
m_status(new QLabel),
// #3 sequence add dialogs
m_TAB_Connect(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG),
pTAB(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG),
m_TAB_CommonDebug(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG),
m_TAB_Ext(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG_EXT),
m_intValidator(new QIntValidator(0, 4000000, this))
{
....
m_ui->setupUi(this);
text =" \t\t\t parent ???";
text += parent->objectName();
no parent name returned
qDebug().noquote() << text;
```
here is how
parent is passed to SettingsDialog
MainWindow_Bluetooth::MainWindow_Bluetooth(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
m_ui(new Ui::MainWindow_Bluetooth),
m_status(new QLabel),
m_console(new Console),
// insert MDI area here ??9
m_mdiarea(new QMdiArea),
**m_settings(new SettingsDialog(this)),**
//! [1]
//! add rfcomm ??
m_serial(new QSerialPort(this))
//! [1]
{ // function\

let's begin with the basics: Why do you use malloc to allocate buffer and then use delete to free the memory?

SOLVED
Never mind - found how to "convert " picture to text.
Is there an acceptable way to post a picture or attach a file to a post ?
I have a "debug view" I like to post.

And how about copy/paste the eliable code snippet together with "debug assertion failed" message text?

Is here somebody ON THIS forum to help me navigate - using C++ code - thru the debug message?
and using Qt?
I am NOT going to post more just to get " do not post Qt questions here ..." ,
hence wasting my time.

Probably not since we have no idea what the problem may be. The debugger is there to help you to find the point at or near where your code has a problem. So make use of it, and when you have some proper details then post a proper question.

This is a offshoot of my last post.
I have a main, I call it parent, class constructed /defined this way :
MainWindow_Bluetooth::MainWindow_Bluetooth(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
m_ui(new Ui::MainWindow_Bluetooth),
m_status(new QLabel),
m_console(new Console),
m_mdiarea(new QMdiArea),
m_settings(new SettingsDialog),
m_serial(new QSerialPort(this))
{
Class QMdiArea allows for constructing sub-windows objects.
Works as expected.
Class SettingDialog is one of the constructed sub_windows.
Here is its definition and addition of it to the QMdiArea:
SettingsDialog *SD = new SettingsDialog(this);
NewMdiSub(SD); NewMdiSub(SD->m_TAB_Connect);
text = " Console I/O ";
SD->m_TAB_Connect->ui->tabWidget->setTabText(0,text);
text = " DEBUG TRACE ";
SD->m_TAB_Connect->ui->tabWidget->setTabText(1,text);
text = " DEBUG ";
SD->m_TAB_Connect->ui->tabWidget->setTabText(2,text);
My task is to "close" this "SD" addition and process the closure.
Clicking "X" on "SD" results in processing this code :
( I am deliberately not using Qt terminology, immaterial for this analysis )
void SettingsDialog::closeEvent( QCloseEvent* event )
{
#ifdef RETILE
text = "\t#i#ifdef RETILE \n";
text += "TRACE START Retile mdiArea subwindows .... ";
text += " ";
text += Q_FUNC_INFO;
text += QString::number(__LINE__);
qDebug().noquote() << text;
#endif
event->accept(); text += " ";
text += "\n\t TEST send text to child";
m_TAB_Connect->ui->plainTextEdit_2->appendPlainText(text);
}
The code gets executed. as expected.
I cannot figure out if processing the above "belongs" to "SD" object or
"m_settings" object.
PLEASE
help me finding out the relations between "parent" , "SD " and "m_settings" objects.
I am NOT asking for code, just for some help with how to analyze this.
(If you decide this is Qt problem - it is NOT -
PLEASE JUST IGNORE this post, (instruction )
and save your time
no opinions / commentaries are needed / welcomed.)
Thanks, help is appreciated very much.

This is what I understand from the above:
1. MainWindow_Bluetooth is a class that contains various properties including m_settings . When instantiated m_settings is set to point to a new SettingsDialog .
2. SD is a pointer to a new SettingsDialog . No idea where it is created or why, since this appears to be a duplicate of m_settings .
3. In the closeEvent of SettingsDialog you create some text and pass it to m_TAB_Connect , presumably to be displayed somewhere. It is not possible to say whether this is called by SD or m_settings since other parts of the code are not present.

This is an offshoot of my other post
AND
if it is NOT OK for me to continue posting - there are others who are commenting negatively
about my too many posts"
PLEASE
DO NOT REPLY
I do not want to waste "volunteers time ".
I am currently working on nested objects
main object ( patent _)
secondary object ( child )
next object ( child )
I am trying to pass correct parameters between them
I am debugging the flow using constructors and
it looks as the compiler / linker access / flow in sort of backwards
First trace is "next object " constructor ....
and then I get lost tracing....UP next object
is that normal ?
That is all I wanted to ask.
Thanks

I assume your question is about the order of initialization of compound objects.
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
class level3 {
public:
level3(const std::string& name);
};
class level2 {
public:
level2(const std::string& name);
private:
level3 grandchild;
level3 favourite_grandchild;
};
class top_level {
public:
top_level(const std::string& name);
private:
level2 child;
level2 other_child;
};
top_level::top_level(const std::string& name)
: other_child("other_child") , child("child") {
cout << name << " constructor\n";
}
level2::level2(const std::string& name)
: favourite_grandchild("favourite_grandchild") , grandchild("grandchild") {
cout << name << " level2 constructor\n";
}
level3::level3(const std::string& name)
{
cout << name << " level3 constructor\n";
}
int main()
{
top_level t("top");
}
The result is this:
grandchild level3 constructor
favourite_grandchild level3 constructor
child level2 constructor
grandchild level3 constructor
favourite_grandchild level3 constructor
other_child level2 constructor
top constructor
In words: aggregate objects initialize their members in the order in which the members are declared, not in the order of initializers in the constructor of the aggregate. After initializing all members, the constructor code is run.

Many thanks for helping me to analyze the problem.
I now have a better understanding what is going on and have found a part of the problem.
Here my current partial trace

ADDENDUM
I am still trying to learn how to pass parameters to object.
My current "duplicating constructor" is because I am doing
it wrong.
My main object constructor is defined this way:
MainWindow_Bluetooth::MainWindow_Bluetooth(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
m_ui(new Ui::MainWindow_Bluetooth),
m_status(new QLabel),
m_console(new Console),
m_mdiarea(new QMdiArea),
m_settings(new SettingsDialog),
m_serial(new QSerialPort(this))
{
hence I am passing settings(new SettingsDialog),
as a parameter.
SettingsDialog constructor:
SettingsDialog::SettingsDialog(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
m_ui(new Ui::SettingsDialog),
m_status(new QLabel),
m_TAB_Connect(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG),
m_TAB_Ext(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG_EXT),
m_intValidator(new QIntValidator(0, 4000000, this))
{
its in question / problem passed parameter is
m_TAB_Connect(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG),
now for the source of this problem
I have TWO instances of SettingsDialog
and they point to TWO instances of A_BT_TAB_DIALOG
hence I end up with WRONG instances of A_BT_TAB_DIALOG
Can I modify my code to have TWO instances of A_BT_TAB_DIALOG
and make sure I point to the CORRECT instance ?
In my not so technical terminology
can I pass a parameter to
have something like
m_TAB_Connect(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG),
m_TAB_Connect_Ext(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG),
I am looking for a solution and I am open tor suggestions
leading to proper C++ solution.
Thanks

In your code:
SettingsDialog::SettingsDialog(QWidget *parent) :
m_TAB_Connect(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG), m_TAB_Ext(new A_BT_TAB_DIALOG_EXT), { If you have somewhere:
SettingsDialog obj1(parent);
SettingsDialog obj2(parent); each one of them will have their own TAB_Connect and TAB_Ext . In other words obj1.m_TAB_Connect != obj2.m_TAB_Connect .
Do you want both of them to point to the same TAB object?
