QQuickView新删除类型不匹配

Question

When compiling with g++ -fsanitize=address I get a new-delete-type-mismatch. Is this code wrong? Or is this a Qt Bug?

I found this in a large application and broke it down to the code below. I want to show a QML Item from C++ with QQuickView. But there seems to be a problem in the Destructor of QQuickView.

test.pro:

TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = test
QT += core gui widgets quick

SOURCES += test.cpp

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -fsanitize=address
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -fsanitize=address

test.cpp:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QQuickView>
#include <QQuickItem>

int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
    QApplication app ( argc, argv );

    QQuickView view;
    view.setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("test.qml"));
    view.show();

   return app.exec();
}

test.qml:

import QtQuick 2.4

Item {
    id: item1
    anchors.fill: parent

    Rectangle {
        id: rectangle
        color: "#fba4e3"
        anchors.fill: parent
    }
}

Compile:

$ qmake-qt5 test.pro
$ make

g++ -c -pipe -fsanitize=address -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_WIDGETS_LIB -DQT_QUICK_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_QML_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I. -isystem /usr/include/qt5 -isystem /usr/include/qt5/QtWidgets -isystem /usr/include/qt5/QtQuick -isystem /usr/include/qt5/QtGui -isystem /usr/include/qt5/QtQml -isystem /usr/include/qt5/QtNetwork -isystem /usr/include/qt5/QtCore -I. -isystem /usr/include/libdrm -I/usr/lib64/qt5/mkspecs/linux-g++ -o test.o test.cpp
g++ -fsanitize=address -Wl,-O1 -o test test.o   -lQt5Widgets -lQt5Quick -lQt5Gui -lQt5Qml -lQt5Network -lQt5Core -lGL -lpthread

Run:

$ ./test

This is indeed a known bug in QtQuick that still is not resolved, checkout this bug report .

One of the comments gives some hints about the cause that is apparently related to the fact that the QML engine uses a new with a placement destination whose size is bigger than the object that is currently being built. It is probably done for optimization reasons, so no clue if this is ever going to be fixed, but it looks not harmful.
