Ooops, I sent the previous post a little too fast.
Of course, the problem happens only with Windows CE.

Thanks for that!

Did you changed compiler settings to enable extra warnings, or just notice it during compilation? I think I’m going to go back and re-compile my WinCE DLLs and check a bit more carefully.

It was the first time I built Qt for Windows CE 5.0 for production devices (previously we were using only Windows CE 6.0).

At first I was having memory allocation errors I initially supposed were caused by the 32MB limit for data and program dlls, so i forced -Os in the mkspec for the target device and inserted qDebug() messages to generate an application specific execution log about what was actually going on, after i noticed program termination happened before reaching the 32MB limit, I started combing the compilation log to see if there was something suspicious besides the usual data truncation warnings and found that weird warning about rewind() macro substitution.

Thanks for that I’ll do a trawl through our compilation log and see if it’s there. We’re building using 4.7.4 so it might not show up in that release (fingers crossed).

Lately I rebuild some stuff using Qt 4.8.4 and discovered that the bug still exists.
It exists in 4.8.3, too.

The fixes added to the source code instead of “#undef rewind”
contained “# undef rewind” (blank spaces between “#” and “undef”)
and it seems that VS2005 C++ compiler for ARM ignores that.
