openAndAddProject() shows BackupDialog as a stack object parented to the
editor and exec()s it; every QET::QetMessageBox does the same. exec() runs a
nested event loop, and closing the editor during it turns WA_DeleteOnClose
into a deleteLater() that the nested loop processes: ~QWidget() deletes the
editor's children, the stack-allocated dialog among them, and the process
aborts. Reported on macOS, where File > Quit lives in the application menu
and stays usable while the backup question is up.
The close is now refused while any modal widget is active, and the dialog is
raised so the refused quit is not silent. It is done in QETMainWindow::event()
rather than in closeEvent(), because QETDiagramEditor::closeEvent() starts
closing projects before it decides whether to accept. That covers the diagram
and title-block editors; QETElementEditor is a plain QMainWindow, so its
closeEvent() calls the same helper before canClose(), which itself opens a
modal. QETApp::quitQET() needs nothing: closeEveryEditor() goes through each
editor's close(), and quitQET() already only quits when every close succeeded.
Rejected alternatives, both suggested on the issue:
- Giving the dialog no parent stops the abort but not the deletion. One
caller of openAndAddProject() is the editor's own constructor, which goes
on to open the next file and call slot_updateActions() on this -- a loud
abort would become a silent use-after-free.
- Guarding only QETApp::closeEveryEditor(), which I first recommended on the
issue, misses the reported route entirely: File > Quit is connected to
QETDiagramEditor::close(), not to quitQET().
Verified on Linux, where there is nothing to click (the menu bar belongs to
the blocked window, and Qt ignores window-manager close requests for it), by
calling close() from gdb while the dialog's loop was running -- both
QETApp::quitQET() and QWidget::close() on the editor. Unfixed, both abort
with "free(): invalid size" in QObjectPrivate::deleteChildren() under
~QETDiagramEditor(), matching the report frame for frame; fixed, close()
returns false, the editor and the dialog stay up, and after answering the
dialog Ctrl+Q exits normally. The element-editor guard is the same helper
but was not exercised separately.
tests/modal-quit-regression/ turns that into a gate: it breaks on
QDialog::exec(), interrupts inside the nested loop, calls quitQET() and
checks the process survives. It matches no window titles (translated) and no
window ids, runs on the offscreen platform, and needs only gdb with Python.
Checked both ways: exit 1 with the backtrace above on a build without this
change, exit 0 with it.
ctest 8/8.

F10 opens the menu bar in most applications and is the usual way to reach
the menus without a mouse. Qt provides this on Windows but not on X11, so on
Linux the key did nothing and the press fell through to whichever widget had
focus. It matters more here than it might elsewhere: "&Édition" takes É for
its own letter, which is not on a UK or US keyboard, so that menu has no
direct Alt route at all.
A window-context QShortcut rather than a key handler -- key presses go to
the focused child widget, so a keyPressEvent() on the window would never see
F10 while the canvas or a panel has focus.
tests/qttest/tst_menubarkeyboard.cpp covers three things: that Alt and a
letter opens a menu (the control), that plain F10 does nothing in Qt itself
(which is why the shortcut exists, and which will fail loudly if a future Qt
starts handling it), and that the shortcut mechanism opens the bar.
It uses QTest instead of driving a real X server for a specific reason.
xdotool on Xvfb delivers every function key with Alt held: a Qt key logger
shows Key_F10 arriving with modifiers == Qt::AltModifier. --clearmodifiers,
keydown/keyup pairs, --window targeting and flattening the keycode with
xmodmap all made no difference. Two rounds of GUI automation therefore gave
confident, wrong answers about F10 -- first that it was broken, then that
this very fix did not work. QTest posts the event straight to the widget, so
the key arrives as written.
What the test does not cover, since initCommonActions() calls
QETApp::instance() and constructing that pulls in the whole application: it
repeats the wiring rather than driving QETMainWindow. Confirming the real
window responds still needs someone to press F10 in a running QElectroTech.
Verified by breaking it: bound to F11 instead, the test fails. Qt 5 and Qt 6
both build clean, 6/6 tests on each.

Stacked on the steps 1-3 branch (feature-diagnostic-logging, PR #646).
Kept as its own PR rather than folded into that one, matching the
discussion's own framing: step 4 is explicitly "the highest-risk piece
... lands last, behind its own switch."
## Step 4 -- crash-time ring flush (CrashHandler)
Installs a handler for SIGSEGV/SIGABRT/SIGBUS/SIGFPE/SIGILL (POSIX) /
SetUnhandledExceptionFilter (Windows) that flushes the in-memory ring to
a fixed crash_dump.log before the process dies.
This required reworking LogRing (step 3) to be genuinely lock-free, not
just mutex-protected: a signal handler that blocks on a lock the
crashing thread (or another thread) already holds turns a clean crash
into a hang -- no ring dump *and* no core dump, worse than doing
nothing. append() now claims a slot with a single atomic fetch-add;
dumpToFd() reads the preallocated entries directly and writes them with
write(2) only, looping on EINTR/short writes. Accepted tradeoff: at most
one entry can be read torn if a crash lands mid-append into that exact
slot -- documented in logring.h, and the alternative (a seqlock to
detect and retry) wasn't judged worth the complexity for that window.
Other invariants implemented per the discussion:
- sigaltstack with a static 64 KiB buffer, SA_ONSTACK -- a stack-
overflow SIGSEGV has no usable stack for a handler without one.
- Nothing under the actual handler touches Qt, QString or the
allocator: the dump path and a small header (version/git/OS/Qt) are
precomputed into fixed char buffers by install(), which runs once at
startup in normal context.
- Atomic test-and-set so only the first crash writes a dump; a second
concurrent/nested fault goes straight to restore-and-re-raise.
- After writing, the handler restores SIG_DFL and re-raises (POSIX) /
returns EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH (Windows) so the OS's own crash
path -- core dump, Windows Error Reporting -- still runs. A handler
that "fixed" the crash by swallowing the signal would destroy exactly
the post-mortem evidence this whole design exists to preserve.
Tested in this environment: POSIX/Linux only, all five signals. Sent
each directly to a running process and confirmed (a) crash_dump.log is
written with the correct header and ring contents, mode 0600, and (b)
the process still terminates via the signal with the kernel's own
"core dumped" flag set (exit code 128+signal, confirmed for all five).
The Windows path is implemented per the discussion's guidance but is
untested -- no Windows build available in this sandbox.
## Step 5 -- getting the data back out
- QETApp::checkCrashDump(), called from checkBackupFiles() only when
there's no stale project file to recover this run (so the two
prompts never both show, per the discussion), offers an unretrieved
crash dump via DiagnosticsReportDialog and then deletes it regardless
of the user's choice -- offered exactly once.
- A new "Aide > Enregistrer un rapport de diagnostic..." action
(QETMainWindow) builds the same kind of report from the *current*
session (QetLogger::buildDiagnosticsReport(): header + this session's
log file) for a manual "attach this to a bug report" flow, not tied
to a crash.
- Both go through QetLogger::redact() before ever reaching the user:
the one redaction implemented is a literal replace of the home
directory with "~", since an absolute path under it leaks the
account name. The discussion's fancier "optionally redact project
filenames too" isn't attempted -- reliably telling a project path
apart from arbitrary log text is a much fuzzier problem than a
literal prefix match.
- DiagnosticsReportDialog shows the full (already-redacted) content
before saving, per the discussion: "the user is about to attach this
to a public tracker."
Verified in a real GUI session (Xvfb): triggered a SIGSEGV, relaunched,
confirmed the crash-report dialog appears with the right header/content,
confirmed it does not reappear on a second relaunch, and confirmed the
manual "Save report" action produces a correctly-formatted report and
saves it to a chosen path.
Built clean, no new warnings.
## Build systems
Registered in both: cmake/qet_compilation_vars.cmake, and
qelectrotech.pro. The .pro needed explicit globs for the new
sources/logging/ui/ subfolder -- sources/logging/*.{h,cpp} was already
globbed, but unlike the other ui/ subfolders that one had no entry of
its own, so diagnosticsreportdialog.{h,cpp} would not have been built
under qmake.
Use default constructor instead
Qt::Widget 0x00000000
This is the default type for QWidget.
Widgets of this type are child widgets if they have a parent,
and independent windows if they have no parent.
