This line is a bad idea because the returned array may (will) be
invalidated when the destructor of std::string is called.

Doesn't the new version have the same problem with the temporary QByteArray?

How about saving the data in a local std::string/QByteArray variable?

                std::string lib = plugin.toStdString();
                kshark_register_plugin(kshark_ctx, lib.c_str());


Hi Slavi,

As far I can understand toStdString() will create a fresh std::string and this string will has its own copy of the characters. However, this copy gets out-of-scope as soon as we hit the semicolon of the line.

My understanding was that toLocal8Bit().data() makes no copy so the array will go out-of-scope only when the QString is destroyed.

But anyway, your solution looks cleaner and safer.
I will send another version of the patch.
Thanks a lot!
Y.


Thanks!
