definitely a nullptr deref in Cpp::ADLTypeVisitor::endVisit - can you provide us with the project that triggers the crash? Or at least try this: kdebugdialog -> enable cpp and language areas of kdevelop/kdevplatform. Then trigger the bug again, take a look at the cli output. If you have threads = 1 the last message about which file it parses should tell us the culprit. Try opening that in a plain kdev session. If that also triggers the bug, please attach that file and/or try to remove code until you find a snippet that is as short as possible to trigger the bug.

sources which crashes kdevelop + cli output

this zip archive contains five small sources and the cli output.
kdevelop crashed every time I opened this sources.
steps to reproduce the crash:
- remove ~/.kdevduchain
- remove all .kdev_include_paths files
- activate background parsing (1 thread)
- open all sources

these steps are enough to crash kdevelop every time.

After executing KDevelop with KDevelop, the background parser crashs always in file declaration.cpp:340. The macro ENSURE_CAN_READ is the point of failure.

Please ignore my previous comment. the nullptr is in 
kdevelop/languages/cpp/cppduchain/adlhelper.cpp in function ADLTypeVisitor::endVisit(const FunctionType * /*type*/)

the problematic code is the missing nullptr check in line 119:

118:        while (context) {
119:            Declaration* decl = context->owner();
120:            if (context->type() == DUContext::Namespace) {
121:                m_helper.addAssociatedNamespace(decl->qualifiedIdentifier());
122:                break;
123:            } else if (context->type() == DUContext::Class) {
124:                m_helper.addAssociatedClass(decl);
125:                break;
126:            }
127:            context = context->parentContext();
128:        }

in my projects the "decl" pointer is extremly often null, so KDevelop isn's usable for me. i don't know exactly what this code does, but if I "fix" the nullptr deref like this


118:        while (context) {
119:            Declaration* decl = context->owner();
120:            if(decl != 0) {
121:                if (context->type() == DUContext::Namespace) {
122:                    m_helper.addAssociatedNamespace(decl->qualifiedIdentifier());
123:                    break;
124:                } else if (context->type() == DUContext::Class) {
125:                    m_helper.addAssociatedClass(decl);
126:                    break;
127:                }
128:            }
129:            context = context->parentContext();
130:        }

everything works fine again.
I hope this infos are usable for you.

Moving all the bugs from the CPP Parser. It was not well defined the difference between it and C++ Language Support and people kept reporting in both places indistinctively
