Description
The QProcess::open() and QLocalSocket::open new overrides in Qt 5.1 cause a binary compatibility issue. Overriding virtuals is permitted as long as calling the old method is still permitted. The trick is: QProcess::start() calls open(), which means it calls the old implementation if the class is derived from QProcess and not recompiled.
Steps to reproduce:
1) compile an application that has a class deriving from QProcess or QLocalSocket (e.g., Creator) with Qt 5.0
2) run it with Qt 5.1
3) cause it to use that class (with Creator, build any project)
At this point, the application will freeze for 30 seconds.
Backtrace:
(gdb) bt #0 0x00007f3688f8add9 in pselect () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007f3689bd5c4e in qt_safe_select(int, fd_set*, fd_set*, fd_set*, timespec const*) () from /usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5 #2 0x00007f3689b3ad0c in ?? () from /usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5 #3 0x00007f3689b3bbec in ?? () from /usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5 #4 0x00007f367698980b in ProjectExplorer::AbstractProcessStep::run(QFutureInterface<bool>&) () from /usr/lib/qtcreator/plugins/QtProject/libProjectExplorer.so
The unknown frames in QtCore must be QProcess::waitForStarted and QProcessPrivate::waitForStarted.
strace shows the program frozen at:
pselect6(0, [], NULL, NULL, {30, 0}, {NULL, 8}
The trace does not show any pipes being opened, nor were there any warnings printed in the terminal. Since QProcessPrivate::startProcess always creates a pipe, we know it wasn't called. QProcess::open will always print a warning or call QProcessPrivate::startProcess, so we know QProcess::open wasn't called.
This can be confirmed by examining the vtable for the process or library in question.
