We are using QTcpServer and QSslSocket for server-client communication. Witnessing a crash once in a while in one particular Windows machine. Unfortunately in this machine, we don't have a debugger. Hence I could get the stack frame only with the "Process Explorer" utility from Windows. Here is the image:
Documentation for WSHStringToAddress function suggests that it's obsolete. This crash is not seen elsewhere.
How to resolve this issue?
After debugging we found out that,
WSHStringToAddress()is not a troublemaker, though obsolete. It's seen in the healthy app running as well as a "thread".The root cause was within our code where there was an infinite recursion. Somehow, due to lack of stack frames, it was not seen properly with the above MS tool.
