Description Ian H 2020-01-08 16:27:56 UTC
SUMMARY

KDevelop crashes every startup on all versions after 5.4.3

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KDevelop

OBSERVED RESULT

Crashes during startup/parsing of project

EXPECTED RESULT

Should complete parsing properly (like 5.4.3)


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Is there any chance i could get an appImage for kdevelop that has debug symbols so i can get a backtrace?
Comment 1 Ian H 2020-08-19 21:34:47 UTC
seems to be fixed in the latest 5.5.80 beta

This report doesn't provide enough information to identify the problem.

Good that it seems to have been fixed.

For future reference:

Often removing ~/.cache/kdevduchain/ resolves crash-on-start issues (there should be a dialog asking to do that when starting after a crash). Otherwise there may be a file in your project or its dependencies that triggers some parser bug.

There's unlikely to be an AppImage with debug symbols, but KDevelop has quite conservative dependencies - you should always be able to compile KDevelop using the system library versions found the latest release of Ubuntu LTS or of most other distros.
