I've a question that couldn't find anywhere. I have a QMap that's ignoring the QMap.insert(Key, Value) command. Here's the code:
//gets the selected problem index on the ProblemList
int selProblem = ui->tree_projects->currentItem()->data(0, Qt::UserRole).toInt();
//creates a new problem, sets its values and then replaces the old one on the ProblemsList variable
ProblemSets nProblem;
if(!problemsList.isEmpty()) //problemsList is an attribute of MainWindow
nProblem = problemsList.value(selProblem);
// some data collection that has been omitted because isn't important
// temporary maps that will carry the modifications
QMap<int, QString> nResName, nResType;
//data insertion into the maps
//these are fine
nResName.insert(fIdx, results_model->data(results_model->index(fIdx, 0)).toString());
nResType.insert(fIdx, results_model->data(results_model->index(fIdx, 1)).toString());
//replaces the old maps with the new ones
nProblem.SetProbResultsNames(nResName);
nProblem.SetProbResultsTypes(nResType);
//replaces the old problem with the new one
problemsList.insert(selProblem, nProblem); //this is the line that's doing nothing
}
That last line appears to be doing nothing! I've even tried to use
problemsList.remove(selProblem);
problemList.insert(selProblem, nProblem);
but got a similar result: the map not being inserted at the index selProblem. It got inserted, but with an outdated value - the same one of the deleted index -. I've checked on Debug and all the indexes and variables are correct, but when the .insert hits, nothing happens.
The most awkward thing is that this code is a copy/paste that I made from another method that I'm using that does similar thing, just changing the variable names, but that one works.
EDIT 1: This is the contents of nProblem, selProb and problemsList.value(selProblem)
Just before the Line:
problemsList.insert(selProblem, nProblem);
selProb: 0
nProblem:
problemsList.value(selProblem):
After the line
problemsList.insert(selProblem, nProblem);
selProb: 0
nProblem:
problemsList.value(selProblem):
EDIT 2:
class ProblemSets
{
public:
ProblemSets();
virtual ~ProblemSets();
ProblemSets(const ProblemSets& other);
ProblemSets& operator=(const ProblemSets& other);
//I hid getters and setters to avoid pollution on the post
private:
int index;
bool usingBenchmark;
QString functionSelected;
QString info;
QMap<int, QString> probVars_name, probVars_type, probResultsNames, probResultsTypes;
QMap<int, float> probVars_min, probVars_max;
QMap<int, int> probVars_stpSize, probVars_stp;
int varsNumber; // holds how many vars has been created, just for display purposes
int resNumber; // holds how many results has been created, just for display purposes
};
Found the issue! I didn't have both the variables declared on the copy method of the ProblemSets class.
Solved simply adding them to the copy method
MainWindow::ProblemSets::ProblemSets(const ProblemSets& other)
{
// copy
index = other.index;
usingBenchmark = other.usingBenchmark;
functionSelected = other.functionSelected;
info = other.info;
probVars_name = other.probVars_name;
probVars_type = other.probVars_type;
probVars_min = other.probVars_min;
probVars_max = other.probVars_max;
probVars_stpSize = other.probVars_stpSize;
probVars_stp = other.probVars_stp;
//here
probResultsNames = other.probResultsNames;
probResultsTypes = other.probResultsTypes;
//
varsNumber = other.varsNumber;
resNumber = other.resNumber;
}
I had this issue before with the std::vector class, and that's why I suspected that could be that. Thanks to everyone that helped!
