Bug ID: 404820 Summary: default construction SyntaxHighlighter() crashes Product: frameworks-syntax-highlighting Version: 5.55.0 Platform: Other OS: All Status: REPORTED Severity: crash Priority: NOR Component: framework Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: j...@vandenoever.info Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY SyntaxHighlighter(QObject* parent = nullptr) calls QSyntaxHighlighter(parent). If parent == nullptr, this crashes because QSyntaxHighlighter(QObject *parent) dereferences parent without checking for nullptr. This could be considered a bug in QSyntaxHighlighter. However, QSyntaxHighlighter does not have a default argument nullptr but SyntaxHighlighter does. I do not see a way to fix SyntaxHighlighter so that SyntaxHighlighter() can be called without crashing. Ideally, one would do this: SyntaxHighlighter::SyntaxHighlighter(QObject* parent) : QSyntaxHighlighter(parent ?QSyntaxHighlighter(parent) :QSyntaxHighlighter((QTextDocument*)0)), AbstractHighlighter(new SyntaxHighlighterPrivate) { qRegisterMetaType<QTextBlock>(); } but that does not compile. Is there a way to choose what superclass constructor to call at runtime? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
