Do you have a reference to a Qt ticket which shows when the bug was fixed?
Since Kinetic also supports Wily atm it might not be possible to update that before we drop building for that platform.
I could not find any reference that show that there was a bug.
Would be helpful if someone can verify if this crashes in Wily.
Yeah, that would be great to know.
Also, have we verified that there is no longer a problem using both PySide and PyQt?
I am hesitant to merge the PR as-is. The segfault was a very real problem. And without any indication I am worried it will still happen (maybe only on some platforms) - especially since the master branch is being used across all ROS distros (Indigo to Kinetic atm.). So I think it either needs to be verified that the segfault is not happening anymore across all active ROS distros platforms using Qt 5 or a ticket referencing a fixed problem in Qt which enumerates the affected / fixed Qt versions needs to be identified.
There should be at least a warning, could save some hours..
+1 for version check, there could be some people trying to use updated qt_common_plugins on old ubuntu images.
Patch confirmed working on Debian Testing, QT5 5.7.1 from 25th July 2016.
I just tried it on Xenial with Qt / PyQt 5.5.1 and it immediately segfaults when opening the plugin.
@charlieyan Maybe you can provide some more information here about your versions. Maybe that helps to figure out in which environment it does segfault and in which it doesn't.
I will close this ticket due to no response. Please feel free to comment and it can be reopened.
Sorry, last time I checked this was not fixed, so why close it?
@nxdefiant The proposed patch doesn't work for me - it immediately segfaults (see previous commment). I also requested more information more than two months ago.
Therefore I closed the PR. If more information is provided so that we can iterate on this or the patch is being updated to not segfault this can be reopened.
ok, to not loose this bug I added issue #450
does not crash on updated ubuntu 16.04
