2. Previous Versions (< 0.29.1)

I tested previous versions with HW*.dmg going back in history.
Then, I found versions up to 0.28.8 are problematic.

<0.29.1> --> 0.28.17 --> 0.28.15 --> 0.28.14 --> 0.28.13 --> 0.28.12 --> 0.28.11 --> 0.28.10 --> 0.28.9 --> 0.28.8

3. Further Previous Versions (< 0.28.8)

I tested with 0.28.7, 0.27.13, and 0.26.12 and found they are OK, as shown in the sample images below.

I suspect some problem may have intruded between 0.28.7 and 0.28.8.

Thanks for the analysis. I will look into that.

Dear @Kazzz-S and @stefanottili

Thanks for the many datapoints and your experiments!

Maybe I found the root cause: on some platforms / compilers, a default-initialized iterator appears no to have the same value. I think it is more related to the compiler, although I have not seen the issue myself on neither gcc nor clang on Linux and Windows. Searching does not reveal a consistent picture: some say, a default-initialized constructor is a "singular" value, others say it is uninitialized. So it is better to give it a proper value.

My patch is here: #1708

Maybe you can try whether this fixes the problem.

Thanks and best regards,

Matthias

P.S: I hope you did not spend too much effort in your research. Basically all I needed was the hint about 0.28.7 vs. 0.28.8 :(

git checkout origin/bugfix/issue-1706 fixes the coredump on M1 Sonoma.

The fact that it went unreported for so many versions just might indicate that nobody is using this feature ...

Hello @klayoutmatthias,

Thank you for trying to fix this problem.
Using the patch #1708, I rebuilt:

1. Four binaries with Qt5.x mentioned in this table.
2. Two binaries with Qt6.x mentioned in this comment.
3. One binary with Qt5.12.8 on Linux Mint 20.3.

I confirmed that all 7 test cases are OK.

Thank you again, and best regards,
Kazzz-S

Hello @stefanottili,

Thank you for testing on M1 Sonoma.
I use this feature mainly in Linux environments, so I overlooked this problem till recently.

Best regards,
