    Description

      I have an application that uses a QML Map item inside of a QQuickWidget. That QQuickWidget is located in a QTabWidget, so the pane that contains it is sometimes hidden. In some rare, hard-to-duplicate situations, I've observed crashes when the pane containing the Map transitions from hidden to shown. I'm using the Mapbox GL plugin, and the Map also contains several MapItem instances as children, including MapPolyline and MapQuickItem items.

      The crash is due to an unhandled exception; when the view is shown, the plugin is told to update its scene graph node (in `QDeclarativeGeoMap::updatePaintNode()`). A few layers down, this results in a call to `QMapboxGL::removeLayer()` with a layer name that doesn't exist. The underlying Mapbox GL library throws a `std::runtime_error` when this occurs, an exception that isn't caught by the Mapbox GL plugin, so it percolates up the stack, where it isn't handled anywhere, and the application terminates.

      I found that if I add a try/catch block around the call in `QMapboxGL::removeLayer()`, then it appears to make the crash go away; there doesn't seem to be any other ill effects to the failure to remove the layer. It seems that, when interacting with a third-party API that can emit exceptions, the Qt plugin should make sure to catch those exceptions to avoid uncontrollable application termination like this one. There may be other places in the Mapbox GL API where this could occur; I would recommend scrubbing the Qt wrapper to ensure there isn't any more exception leakage as well.

      Here is a stack trace taken when the error occurs:

      terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
        what():  no such layer
